You are probably not going to die from prostate cancer anytime soon. Even though there is no clear consensus on how to diagnose or treat prostate cancer, there are choices that you can make to make your life long, and full, and happy. That is why the New York State Prostate Cancer Coalition is here. We know that most men diagnosed with prostate cancer will not die from prostate cancer. We want you to be one of those men.
We are a statewide non-profit organization composed of prostate cancer survivors and their family and friends, doctors, social workers, and other stakeholders who came together in 1999 at the recommendation of the New York State Department of Health.
