Prostate cancer strikes one in six Canadian men; of those that get it, their chances of dying is also one in six. It is the most common cancer in men.

The Vancouver Prostate Centre, located at VGH is one of the top prostate treatment and research facilities in the world. Patients from across BC are referred to specialists at the Centre for the expert care they need.

While BC has the highest incidence of prostate cancer in Canada, it also has the lowest mortality rate, thanks in part to the innovative multidisciplinary team approach established by the Centre’s founders and the world-class treatment and research programs available in the province as a result. A tremendous amount has been accomplished by this team, but more needs to be done. Donor support will strengthen the ability of these doctors and scientists to help patients and their families.
