What Is the Prostate Cancer Foundation?

From Matthew Schmitz, M.D., About.com GuideAugust 12, 2010

Follow me on:

The Prostate Cancer Foundation is the world's largest financial supporter of prostate cancer research and has a myriad of connections with the corporate and celebrity worlds.

The rapid growth of the Prostate Cancer Foundation into a huge enterprise has been led by its founder Michael Milken who started the charity after his own prostate cancer diagnosis in 1993.

Much more information is available to help you learn all about how this group started, how it grew so fast, and what it does for prostate cancer victims today.

Yes, everyone wants to live as long as possible. And, yes, it does cost money to develop drugs. I, for one, however, would rather die than pay (or have Medicare or my insurance pay) $50K for something that might allow a few more months of life.
