MESSAGE FROM CEO & President.

My dad died from prostate cancer. I am genetically predisposed to prostate cancer. I have a higher risk of developing this deadly cancer. I am a business owner, that took sabbatical with support from my wife Heidi, to spearhead the Cure for Prostate Cancer Initiative. My salary is one dollar annually.

There are over 4 times the incidence of prostate cancer in 2018 as in the 1950's and there are no effective treatments. According to the National Cancer Institute website, there are no clinical trials for a prostate cancer cure. Consequently, Prostate Cancer Resource, a charitable nonprofit organization, will fund translation scientific research programs, based on linking genetic signature of an individual patient's prostate cancer with immunotherapy. The research must have a maximum duration of 3 years.

Presently, PCR medical advisory committee are reviewing for soundness of science, the following:

(a) Cancer immunotherapy agent, CART-T 14, oncolytic virus agent. Oncolytic virus is a virus that infects and kills cancer cells.

(b) MKC8866 drug that strongly inhibits the development of prostate cancer tumors.

(c) Lutetium 177 Lu-PSMA-617, which carries a radioactive component that attach to the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) receptor on the tumor cells. Its radiation component destroys the tumor cells.

(d) Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab in combination with Lutetium 177 Lu-PSMA-617, to help the prostate cancer patient's immune system attack the cancer and interfere with the ability of the tumor cells to grow and metastasize.

PCR grant making process is designed to expedite funding on research (including university-based research) that focus on a prostate cancer cure. Grant proposals are independently assessed by a panel of scientists. Grant recommendations are sent to Board of Directors for review and approval. Award decision to be made in 30 days. Funding in 7 days. Maximum grant per award is $3.000.000
