Prostate cancer research

The Canadian Cancer Society is working hard to help control this disease, which affects thousands of men and their families, and causes concern among millions more. 

Start living healthy today!

Eating healthy and being active doesn’t have to be a chore. We aren’t certain yet what role diet and exercise play in prostate cancer, but we do know they play a role in many other cancers. Learn more  about the simple ways you can incorporate veggies and fruit and a bit of exercise into your everyday life and you’ll reap the benefits!

Did you know 50% of cancers can be prevented?

Research shows that at least 50% of cancers can be prevented through healthy living and policies that protect the public. Find out what factors are important and how you can protect your health by reading our Seven Steps to Health.   

Do you have questions about cancer?

We’re here to help. If you have questions about any type of cancer, feel free to contact our confidential Cancer Information Service and speak to a trained information specialist at 1 888 939-3333, Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. or e-mail cis@info.cancer.ca.

Are you as a patient or caregiver living with prostate cancer?

A cancer experience can be a life-altering experience and coping can be stressful. We’re here to help and support you and your family from the time you’re diagnosed, throughout your treatment and after treatment is completed.

The Society’s trained volunteers draw upon their own cancer experience to offer encouragement, compassion and helpful information to adults living with cancer and those caring for a loved one with cancer. Click here for more information.
