ZERO Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer screening shouldn't be complicated or scary. Together with @NovartisUS, we are partnering on the “Relax, it's a Blood Test” campaign to help make early detection simple, visible, and normal. Encourage your friends and family to check in. Spark a potentially lifesaving conversation today. Get the facts and tools at RelaxItsABloodTest.com #ZEROProstateCancer

Newly diagnosed with prostate cancer? ZERO’s MENtor Program connects you with a trained peer who's been there—someone to listen, share their experience, and point you to credible resources. MENtors are not medical providers; they offer peer support. How it works: • Complete a brief profile. • Get matched by stage, treatment, and concerns. • Connect one-on-one with your MENtor.

Ricco Ross, from Tyler Perry’s Netflix series #BeautyInBlack, is partnering with ZERO to help more men and families access clear information, early detection, and equitable care. He says, “We men feel comfortable talking about sports, business, politics, and women, but when it comes to our health, we suffer from emotional and educational malnutrition. It’s time to change that, and it will take more than just men." Black men are 70% more likely to be diagnosed and twice as likely to die from prostate cancer—changing that starts with conversation, connection, and access.

When her dad and grandpa were diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, high school sophomore Maeve McCune turned her new passion for running into action. She launched a Fundraise Your Own Way campaign in their honor, raising $1,800 and encouraging the men in her life to get screened. We're happy to share that both her dad and grandpa are now cancer-free. Whatever you love—running, painting, or even a bake sale—you can turn it into support for men and families facing prostate cancer.

"I probably owe my life to her.” —Joe Dent, prostate cancer survivor In recognition of Women's History Month, we honor the women who keep families going and men on track—the ones who nudge the first screening, sit through appointments, and stand strong through diagnosis and beyond. To every spouse, partner, daughter, sister, friend, and clinician: thank you. #ZEROProstateCancer #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenMakeHistory #Caregivers #CarePartners

We are honored to stand with NBA legend and Board Member @ALLAN_HOUSTON as we work to #BlitzTheBarriers to survival. In this article, Allan directly addresses the stigma surrounding prostate cancer, sharing his personal journey to motivate men, especially Black men, to prioritize early detection. By promoting open dialogue, he is helping to dismantle barriers to life-saving screenings. Thank you, @SInow, @hbculegends, and @ktmoze for providing a platform for these important conversations: bit.ly/4sfTq9m #ZEROProstateCancer #ZeroStigma #ZeroBarriers

Meet Bob Lane—the heartbeat of our Charlotte Run/Walk. Bob’s journey started nearly seven years ago as a volunteer and advocate. Today, as Committee Chair, his favorite part of the role is the incredible community he’s helped build. "The most gratifying part has been seeing a significant increase in the number of prostate cancer patients who attend, many of whom I have had the privilege of supporting." We’re looking for passionate leaders like Bob to step up as 2026 Run/Walk Committee Chairs! If you want to build a supportive community in your own city, we need you on our team. Leave a comment or send us a DM! #ZEROProstateCancer #RunWalk #Volunteer

Great conversations today at #GU26 @ASCO (ASCO) ! @DocHariKris and I presented two posters focused on cardio-oncology, implementation, and health equity in prostate cancer. Today’s posters: •County-level educational attainment and long-term outcomes in older men with prostate cancer (SEER–Medicare 2009–2017). @virajshahr Key takeaway: Men living in lower-education counties experienced higher cardiovascular and overall mortality—highlighting community education as a potentially actionable lever for geographically targeted survivorship care. •Abstract #523882: Physician perspectives on implementing a cardiovascular risk score for prostate cancer (PRISM-guided evaluation). @ASCOPost Key takeaway: Clinicians prioritize tools that are simple, fast, and workflow-compatible—with a clear preference for lab-independent models to minimize disruption. We thank all the leaders in the field who worked with us to make this study possible. Posting video on the topic here as well @GACancerCenter @neerajaiims @zklaassen_md @mcg_urology @umangtalking @OncoAlert @oncodaily @PCFnews @IrbazRiaz @PBarataMD @AarmstrongDuke @CaPsurvivorship @PhillipKooMD @ZEROCancer @MCGCardFellows all abstracts will be available in @JCO_ASCO . Thanks to @CDMRP and @AHAScience for funding our work.

Shoutout to Drs. Fizazi, Freedland (@SFreedlandMD), and Smith for leading an amazing discussion at #GU26! Real-world takeaways for real-world care. 📺 Replay available here: bit.ly/Prostate-SF26-T Thanks to @AstellasUS and @Bayer for their grant support, and @ZEROCancer for collaborating with us! #CME #MedEd

Big day in the poster hall for our group! @DocHariKris and I shared 6 posters today spanning cardio-oncology + multi-omics in prostate cancer: connecting imaging, adiposity, immune remodeling, proteomics, and cardio–kidney–metabolic (CKM) risk. @TarekNahle @neerajaiims @GACancerCenter @anantm Poster lineup: •T1 MRI / radiomics: Skeletal muscle radiomic features on prostate T1-weighted MRI and association with major adverse cardiac events (MACE) @anantm •Obesity-associated epigenetic remodeling under androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and implications for cardiometabolic risk @ImmunologyAU •CyTOF: CyTOF immune profiling: how obesity shapes biphasic immune remodeling (CD45+ circulating cells) during ADT @ImmunologyAU •Proteomics: Proteomic remodeling after ADT: how age modifies innate immune/complement–ECM pathways @mayo •CardioKidneyMetabolic Syndrome: CKM syndrome stages in prostate cancer and prognostic significance for CV morbidity/mortality •MRI T2 microenvironment: Periprostatic adipose microenvironment remodeling in aggressive prostate cancer (atlas-based geometric analysis) @anantm Really appreciated all the thoughtful questions and conversations: always energizing to share the work and hear new perspectives.

This morning, we were joined by @RepTroyCarter and ZERO Chief Mission Officer Brian Bragg for a fireside chat at the #ZEROSummit2026. The conversation focused on the legislative path forward for #MensHealth, specifically regarding prostate cancer research, testing, and treatment. Rep. Carter is the driving force behind the State of Men's Health Act, a bill that will bridge the gap in our public health infrastructure. Read our full statement on the State of Men's Health Act: bit.ly/4tUoQn1 #ZEROProstateCancer #HealthPolicy

"Men's health has been overlooked for far too long." ZERO applauds the introduction of the State of Men’s Health Act. This bill will create a dedicated Office of Men's Health to tackle disparities and improve early detection for prostate cancer. We’re calling on Congress to pass this act and give men’s health the resources it deserves. Read the full statement: bit.ly/4tUoQn1 #ZEROProstateCancer #MensHealthAct #ProstateCancer

Veterans face a higher risk of prostate cancer, yet too many encounter barriers to early detection and timely treatment. To confront these challenges, ZERO is announcing the 2026 Veterans’ Action Convening in Arlington, VA, on March 24-25. This national convening will unite survivors, clinicians, and leaders to review new data on the veteran experience and build a coalition focused on advancing life-saving solutions. It is an honor to serve those who have served us by turning shared knowledge into concrete action.
