In appreciation for his outreach and support, the PCF named one of its recent Creativity Research Awards after Wilson. It was granted to Adam Dicker, MD, PhD, at Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Dicker is testing a new theory of metastasis that may result in the development of a new therapeutic strategy to stop the spread of prostate cancer cells throughout the body.

???We are very fortunate to have Charlie bring this crucial message to the African-American community, a part of our population that bears a disproportionate burden for prostate cancer,??? said Jonathan W. Simons, president and CEO of the PCF. ???As a survivor with a family history of prostate cancer, he talks from experience and speaks from the heart.???

In addition to providing facts and guidance on prostate cancer for African-Americans, the new Straight Talk guide also features personal thoughts from Wilson??™s fellow entertainers, D.L. Hughley and Snoop Dogg. A copy of the guide can be ordered for delivery by mail or downloaded online at www.pcf/charliewilson.
