At Sutter Cancer Center in Sacramento, CA, we are following 165 SELECT participants and none of them are lost to follow-up. In order to assist participants in having annual tests, we schedule participants for annual group meetings, where we provide a physical examination and both the PSA and DRE tests. We provide full lunches, topics of interest and articles for discussions. These groups have formed great bonds through the years.

"Even with escalating gas prices, coming to the annual group sessions - with assorted foods, chats with Fran, free second opinions, free vitamins, and the chance to discover a prevention for prostate cancer - makes being a participant worthwhile." - SELECT Participant

We treat our volunteer participants like VIPs and give them personalized service. There is a wonderful rapport between our SELECT participants and Sutter Cancer Center. We really feel our participants are the BEST.
