Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia

The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) is the national body for prostate cancer in Australia. The PCFA plays a vital role in the fight against prostate cancer and devotes all of it resources towards reducing the impact of prostate cancer on the community.

PCFA receives less than 1% of its income from government funding and therefore relies on corporations and individuals to fund these vital programs.

The PCFA is dedicated to:
* funding research into prostate cancer,
* growing our network of 80 support groups nationally and supporting the men and their families affected by prostate cancer,
* raising awareness about prostate cancer through ongoing publicity, campaigns and events, and
* advocating for support from both state and federal governments.

Quick facts
* As many men die from prostate cancer as women die from breast cancer.
* Younger men with a family history of prostate cancer have a higher risk of developing the disease.
* Simple testing by a GP can provide indicators to prostate cancer.
* Early, curable prostate cancer is without symptoms.
