Progether
The Prostate Cancer Network
We built Progether to make it easier for patients and their families to find and share information about their prostate cancer, in order to compare treatments with other patients and to improve prostate cancer research.
A personalized web service
... for prostate cancer patients where they can educate themselves according to their exact disease state, and safely store and share their anonymous prostate cancer related data.
An educational platform
... where prostate cancer patients receive up-to-date and relevant articles tailored to their disease and enable them to get an improved understanding of their medical condition and take a more active role in managing their own care.
A decision-making platform
... where prostate cancer patients can compare their treatment options to others, get to know what therapies worked best for men matching their exact situation and what side effects they have experienced.
A research network
... to support cancer research. Your experience living with prostate cancer will help cancer researchers find better ways to treat the disease.
Progether
