Cancer is the leading cause of death in Nebraska. It touches men, women, and children in rural, urban, and suburban neighborhoods. It wreaks havoc in the lives it touches, in families and in communities. Cancer deepens already existing disparities in access to cancer screenings and treatment.
It is a disease that needs a neutral voice to coordinate efforts across our state to reduce its impact and to improve lives touched by cancer. Nebraska Cancer Coalition is that voice.
We are committed to providing an environment for conversations and work to be done from a variety of perspectives, voices and partners with the goal being to achieve our mission and vision.

nebraska prostate cancer alliance
Over 8 years, Nebraska PCA has provided over 1,500 free PSA tests. The mission is two-fold. We want to provide FREE PSA testing from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at the show, and we also want to provide education about prostate cancer to take away the stigma. We put on an annual car and motorcycle show. This year it is being held on September 8th at the Nebraska Furniture Mart in Omaha. The focal point of the show is a FREE PSA test, a simple blood draw, available to every man over 40 attending the show. PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen; a chemical found in the blood which is the first indication of the possibility of prostate cancer. Testing information is not made public. We try to get as many men as possible tested at the show.
