Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting 1 in 6 men.
In 2007, more than 218,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 27,000 men will die from the disease. One new case occurs every 2.5 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 19 minutes.
It is estimated that there are more than 2 million American men currently living with prostate cancer. Visit the

Our mission is to answer the complex questions
concerning therapies available for treating
cancer and other health issues. What therapy might
be best? What approach might offer the best
chances for survival and quality of life? We
feel it is important to understand all options
from conventional to alternatives in order for
people to make truly informed decisions. We
believe people with cancer have two very
fundamental rights --
the right to know and the
right to choose.
Cancer Spes is not financially affiliated with any specific physician or clinic. We are completely independent and act as the advocate of people with cancer. The work of the CancerSpes.org is funded by donations. This helps us to cover the significant
operating costs.
