American Cancer Society National Prostate Cancer Roundtable
Over the last three decades, cancer diagnosis and death rates in the U.S. have mostly been declining. Ten years ago, prostate cancer took on a new and troubling trend. With more cases of prostate cancer being found each year, the time has come to act. The American Cancer Society National Prostate Cancer Roundtable (ACS NPCRT) was established in 2024. The ACS NPCRT is a national coalition of member organizations united to advance national priorities in prostate cancer by promoting evidence-based strategies and catalyzing policy and patient care solutions. The American Cancer Society provides organizational leadership and expert staff support to the ACS NPCRT.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve prostate cancer outcomes and survivorship through increasing awareness and equitable access to prevention, screening, and treatment. Ultimately, the ACS NPCRT envisions a world in which we work together to eliminate death and suffering from prostate cancer, for all.
