Background
Session IV
PHEN and biopharmaceutical organizations partner in support of PHEN's "Rally Against Prostate Cancer (RAP Cancer)" initiatives, and advocacy efforts towards accelerated development and access to new treatments. RAP Cancer addresses the African American prostate cancer crisis through education and awareness outreach to men and their families, with an emphasis on increasing knowledge about clinical trials and treatment options.
This summit session will provide important and useful insights and information for those organizations seeking partnerships and support for clinical trials recruitment and community outreach, and for patients and advocacy organizations.
