Prostate Network App
​
The Prostate Network app aggregates vetted and personalized information for survivors. This includes specific guidance tailored to each user on diet and exercise tips to help them live longer with a higher quality of life, both physically and mentally. The app also leverages our network to offer support and encouragement to survivors.

HELP OTHERS
Men who have, or have had, prostate cancer give valuable support to others through their involvement with the Prostate Network. Just as men have received support from this group, they can in turn offer other patients and their families patience, strength, and endurance through their experiences with diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
What is prostate Cancer?
It is an abnormal growth of cells in the prostate, a gland found only in men. The prostate is located inside the body, at the base of the penis. Prostate Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in men and the second leading cause of male cancer deaths.
African-American men are at especially high risk for prostate cancer; they are 65% more likely to develop this disease than non-Hispanic white men.
