 The
Dean and Betty Gallo Prostate Cancer Center (GPCC) was established with
the goal of eradicating prostate cancer and improving the lives of men
at risk for the disease through research, treatment, education and
prevention. GPCC was founded in the memory of Dean Gallo, a beloved New
Jersey Congressman who died tragically of prostate cancer diagnosed at
an advanced stage. GPCC unites a team of outstanding researchers and
clinicians who are committed to high-quality basic research, translation
of innovative research to the clinic, exceptional patient care, and
improving public education and awareness of prostate cancer. GPCC is a
center of excellence of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, which is the
only NCI-designated cancer center in the state. GPCC efforts will be
focused in four major areas: (i) Basic, Clinical and Translational
Research, (ii) Comprehensive Patient Care, (iii) Epidemiology and Cancer
Control, and (iv) Education and Outreach.

Us
TOO is a grassroots organization started in 1990 by prostate cancer
survivors to serve prostate cancer survivors, their spouses/partners and
families. We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization
dedicated to communicating timely and reliable information enabling
informed choices regarding detection and treatment of prostate cancer.
Ultimately, Us TOO strives to enhance the quality of life for all those
affected by prostate cancer.
Receiving the news that you or a loved one has prostate cancer is
traumatizing. Life is suddenly out of control and fear takes hold.
Often, feelings of helplessness, guilt, isolation and anger emerge. No
one needs to face prostate cancer alone. Us TOO provides the forum for
sharing, caring and learning through its many programs and services
designed for both men with cancer and their loved ones.
In addition to providing education and support programs, Us TOO is an
active advocate for patients. We are committed to making sure patients
have access to the programs, medications, treatments and health care
professionals they need for the best possible outcomes.
“To know the road ahead, ask those coming back” – Chinese proverb.
