Prostate Cancer Awareness Day 2025

Creating a Massachusetts Model of National Leadership in Prostate Cancer Equity
Today marks the 16th annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day.

Massachusetts is leading the charge in the fight against prostate cancer by expediting public awareness, medical education and research, advocacy, and access to high-quality care.

Since 2009, the Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day (PCAD) has been a cornerstone event at the Massachusetts State House. In 2011, the Massachusetts General Court made history by recognizing prostate cancer as a public health priority, a leading health disparity, and a central issue in men’s health.
This commitment led to the first-in-the-nation state program in 2013, dedicated to integrating research, education, and awareness—bringing cutting-edge medical advances to the most vulnerable and underserved communities.

Together, we are building a healthier future for all men and ensuring that no one is left behind in the fight against prostate cancer.
