Prostate Cancer Canada and Movember 

As a prostate cancer surgeon I devote much time and energy to promoting those charities that support prostate cancer and Mens' Health.  Physician leadership in fundrasing for diseases for which they are expert is an important component of both patient and disease advocacy.   I wrote about my motivation to actively engage Movember in 2013 in the British Journal of Urology International
The annual Movember Campaign  and the great work of Prostate Cancer Canada are worth supporting.

 

 

Bladder Cancer Canada provides a great resource in supprting men and women with this illness.
