Malecare's Role in Prostate Cancer Research

Please donate at malecare.org/donate

Malecare supports prostate cancer research in several dynamic ways, several of which you already know. We raise research funding, provide accrual support, conduct investigations and patent-worthy inventions in-house, and collaborate on research with leading universities.

Did you know that Malecare also teaches? Since 2018, Malecare has hosted interns and provided on-site learning days for students from global universities such as Princeton and the University of Perugia. During 2020, Malecare taught 21 interns from Canada (the University of Toronto, University of York, University of British Columbia) and the USA (Columbia University, Albany State, and Arizona State University). Each student completed a thesis or post-doc project focused on prostate cancer investigations or innovations. Some of these projects will continue through Spring 2021. All this in addition to our pioneering work in prostate cancer patient and family psycho-social support. Volunteers contribute thousands of hours, but we also do things for which money is the only way forward. Please support our work with your kind and generous donation.

I wanted to throw in my 2 cents on why I don't ever donate. You see I had no insurance and had to negotiate treatment, every medical appointment and even prescription drugs, all along the way.

Cash payers get screwed because the Government and Insurance companies negotiate deep discounts for their medical services. They then try to make up the difference with us cash payers.

THus we need to negotiate on our own and never get the best pricing. So NFW I am ever ever giving them money!!!

Malecare has a twenty year history of advocacy for affordable access to healthcare including medications. Malecare is not a government agency or insurance company nor do we receive millions of dollars from pharmaceutical companies. I can understand why you don’t donate to organizations that work against your interests. Based on your comments, you seem aligned with our work.
