PROSTATE CANCER  

Tremendous progress has been made, yet prostate cancer is still the most
commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian men, with 1 in 8 expected to be
diagnosed in their lifetime.

 3. Prostate cancer 

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a month to join together to
transform the future of prostate cancer for the 24,000 Canadians expected to be
diagnosed with prostate cancer this year.

For those people and their families, we must act now. Your donation today will
save and improve lives by funding innovative research at all stages of the
prostate cancer journey to better detect and treat prostate cancer to save more
lives. Your donation will also power a nationwide support system to help people
live life more fully with – and beyond – prostate cancer.

YOUR SUPPORT HELPS DIAGNOSE AGGRESSIVE PROSTATE CANCER EARLIER 

“If we identify high-risk prostate cancer earlier, we can treat it sooner and
save more lives. Your support is critical.” – Dr Keith Jarvi, CCS-funded
researcher 

Nearly 100% of people with prostate cancer will survive at least 5 years after
their diagnosis if the cancer is caught early. But if it’s diagnosed late, just
3 in 10 people are expected to survive five years. 

Dr Jarvi and his team are working on a diagnostic test so simple it can be
performed at home and mailed to a lab where it could identify aggressive
prostate cancer earlier – and potentially save more lives.

HELP EMPOWER PEOPLE FACING PROSTATE CANCER

Dr Lin Yang is developing the prehabilitation model of care to deliver
personalized support to people facing prostate cancer treatment and improve
long-term outcomes.*
