About the MN Prostate Cancer Coalition (MNPCC)
During a man’s lifetime, one in seven will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. An estimated 200,000 new cases of prostate cancer in the US will occur in 2024, the most frequently diagnosed cancer aside from skin cancer. An estimated 3 million US men are currently living with prostate cancer and an estimated that 35,250 US men will die from prostate cancer, the second leading cancer death behind lung cancer.
Right here in MN it is estimated in 2024 we will have 3,960 new prostate cancer cases, 470 men will die of prostate cancer and currently have 54,000 men living with the prostate cancer.
Holistic Well-being
Given these staggering figures, the MN Prostate Cancer Coalition’s mission is to enlighten, educate, support and advocate for men, and their caregivers, as they face the prospects of diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. MNPCC is a 501 (c) 3, tax exempt organization registered with the IRS and is certified with the Secretary of State in Minnesota. Members of our Board of Directors are survivors of prostate cancer ourselves or caregivers. As such, we are deeply committed to the accomplishment of the above-stated mission, offering our services to all, right here in Minnesota.

Signs and Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
- Problems urinating, including a slow or weak urinary stream or the need to urinate more often, especially at night
- Blood in the urine or semen
- Trouble getting an erection (erectile dysfunction or ED)
- Pain in the hips, back (spine), chest (ribs), or other areas from cancer that has spread to bones
- Weakness or numbness in the legs or feet, or even loss of bladder or bowel control from cancer pressing on the spinal cord
It’s important to tell your health care provider if you have any of these symptoms so that the cause can be found and treated, if needed.
PSA Testing
PSA testing is currently a mans best defense against dying of potentially lethal prostate cancer and against developing metastatic prostate cancer. Individuals have a fundamental right to choose whether or not to know if they have prostate cancer, prior to becoming symptomatic.
