Did you know?
- Over 30 million individuals live with urologic conditions in the U.S. alone, affecting their quality of life and their overall lifespan.
- Urology encompasses conditions like painful kidney stones, urinary tract infections and loss of bladder control – conditions which can bother us for years, and lead to needless suffering despite the availability of often simple and permanent preventative and treatment measures.
- The same holds true for urologic cancers, such as prostate, bladder and kidney cancer. If caught early, these devastating diseases can be treated with a very high success rate.
The AUA Foundation is the world's leading non-profit urologic health organization and the official foundation for the American Urological Association. Our mission is to promote health, provide hope and promise a future free of urologic disease.
We advocate and educate to empower physicians and the public to progress toward the highest quality prevention, detection and treatment of urologic diseases. Our research efforts have led to many of the most important developments in urologic health. And we strive to make certain that those who suffer from urologic conditions benefit from the highest level of care.
We have numerous products and services that can help you and your community:
- Educational DVDs on Prostate Cancer, including treatment options
