Prostate Cancer:

it's NOT a Guy Thing

Prostate cancer is a serious health issue that affects millions of men worldwide. According to the U.S. Cancer Statistics Data Visualizations Tool, prostate cancer was the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States in 2020.

Therefore, it is important to promote awareness and prevention of this disease, as well as to support research and treatment efforts that can improve the quality of life and survival of prostate cancer patients.`

The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. The prostate is just below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine). It is about the size of a walnut and surrounds part of the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder). The prostate gland produces fluid that makes up part of the semen.

What is the Prostate?

The Crowns Project's goal is to turn this around and save lives.
