More Than Two Million American Men and Their
More than two million American men and their families are currently battling prostate cancer and three million more men will be compelled to join the battle in the coming decade. Our goal is to keep these families together. We are in a race against time. Prostate CancerKeeping Foundation Families | TogetherAnnual Report 2005 Headline to go here every time. More than 3 years ago, the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) was founded with a single mission: to harness resources – both financial and human – to find better treatments and a cure for recurrent prostate cancer, a cancer that was little known at the time. Back then, who knew that prostate cancer would become the most common non-skin cancer in America? Who knew that prostate cancer would strike one in six men? Who knew that a man would be one-third more likely to develop prostate cancer than a woman is to develop breast cancer? Since then, the PCF has raised more than $260 million for prostate cancer research with the help of tens of thousands of generous supporters and corporate partners. We have funded hundreds of researchers in the United States and throughout the world in an effort to keep families together, longer. Despite the great progress, there is still much to do. In 2005, prostate cancer took the lives of more than 30,000 fathers, brothers, uncles and husbands. One of those men was Mickey Tarnopol, a stalwart supporter and a member of our Board of Directors for 0 years. He was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. It is with him in mind, along with the more than two million American men and their families currently battling this disease, that we move aggressively toward fulfilling our mission.

Diagnosed with prostate cancer at age 60. Patient profile on page 10. Patient profile on page 30. William Clapp Diagnosed with prostate cancer at age 63. Patient profile on page 20. Prostate cancer affects everyone, not just men. Whe n a man gets pros t a t e cancer, it cha n ge s his life. And that affects everyone close to him — friends and family, men and women. That’s why on our cover we have shown the faces of many people — fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, children, physicians, scientists, and others. They are as committed as we are to finding better treat- ments and, eventually, a cure. Family histories and genes may hold the key to solving part of the prostate cancer puzzle. When a man gets prostate cancer, it affects everyone close to him. A man is one-third more likely to get pros t a t e cancer than a woman is to get breast cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, striking 220,000 new men each year. There is one new case every 2 ½ minutes. As baby boomer men reach the target zone for prostate cancer, beginning at age 50, the number of new cases is projected to increase dramatically. By 2015, there will be more than 300,000 new prostate cancer cases each year, a 50% increase.

Annual Report 03 One in Every Six American Men Will Be Diagnosed
39983 4/20/04 2:54 PM Page 2 One in every six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Eventually, one of these young boys will share that same fate. By 2015, there will be more than 300,000 new prostate cancer cases each year. Since 1993, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has made tremendous progress and is now the world’s largest philanthropic source of support for prostate cancer research. But there’s so much more we can do—with your help. Annual Report 03 39983 4/20/04 2:54 PM Page 3 We’re in a race to save men from dying of prostate cancer. We’ve made great progress, but time is not on our side. Every day, another 630 American men learn they have prostate cancer— 230,000 a year. Every 18 minutes, a man dies from prostate cancer—nearly 30,000 each year. And that’s not the worst of it. Since prostate cancer is most common in men over 50, the aging of the baby boom generation represents a ticking time bomb. Scientists predict that the number of new cases of prostate cancer will reach 300,000 by 2015. Unless we do something now, by 2015 we’ll be losing 50,000 men to prostate cancer annually. By 2040, 80,000 men will die each year of prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) exists for the sole purpose of doing everything possible to find a cure for recurrent prostate cancer as soon as possible. With your help, the PCF has grown to become the world’s largest philanthropic source of support for prostate cancer research.

Since then, my appreciation has deepened further by working more closely with its community of scientists and staff. We can be proud of what EMBO has achieved. Since 1964, EMBO has created, developed and nurtured a network of some of the best life scientists who have helped to build a successful European research environment. Over the course of 2014, we have planned activi- available via the timeline on our web site and the growth of a scientific community in Europe.
