As B'nai B'rith International begins the second year of its Prostate Cancer Awareness and Prevention Program, the organization has entered into a new phase of its program by joining forces with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York. The Cancer, Longevity, Ancestry, and Lifestyle Study being conducted by the Einstein researchers is examining both environmental and inherited risk factors among Jewish men over the age of 50 throughout the U.S. to help determine if there is any genetic or other familial indicator for prostate cancer. We have obtained thousands of signatures on petitions calling for increased federal funding for research. We must continue those efforts, but add to that an effort to help this important research project. It involves no travel and is non-invasive.
Confidentiality is assured.
B'nai B'rith, through its International Center for Community Action, will be publicizing the study through organizational publications and meetings. However, participation is open to all Jewish men over 50 years of age and is not limited to B'nai B'rith members.
