Welcome & Introduction
   

Quickly, name six men you know. Statistically, one will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. One man in every thirty-five who is diagnosed with prostate cancer will die from the disease, unless we can find a cure.

The second leading cause of cancer death in men may somehow touch your life this year, and if it does, then what?

Doctors often disagree on effective treatment forcing the patient to choose between quality and quantity of life. As the frustration of the disease and treatment mounts, it is difficult to know where to turn.

Tony Masraff, Founder of Tony's Prostate Cancer Research (TPCR).

Less than five years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The diagnosis was frightening enough; but my ensuing research brought about an even more grim reality. Though it accounts for 30 percent of all cancers in the U.S., only five percent of federal cancer research dollars are allocated to it. There is very little non-invasive almost no research dedicated solely to this disease. Men have few sources of consistent trusted information, few choices outside of surgery, very few support groups and no one to advocate for them.

That is the past. I am the future and I ask that you join me in my fight. We have established Tony’s Prostate Cancer Research and you can join Tony’s Team by supporting TPCR. This is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) aspiring to bring men and their families hope, support and information.

To make our dream a reality, great funding is necessary. Please contribute whatever you can. Visit the secure section of our website and use your credit card to contribute.

Thank you for helping us make this research a reality.
