Promotion, encouragement and awareness marked the month dedicated to men’s health

Prostate cancer is still a topic surrounded by taboos among the male population, which contributes to delays in diagnosis and an increase in mortality associated with the disease. Aiming to promote prevention and access to information, Grupo Liberatos carried out a series of educational programs on health over the course of a month, encouraging men to seek urological consultations and regular medical follow-ups.

During the programs, other types of cancer were also addressed, with an emphasis on digestive, bladder, brain, and central nervous system (CNS) cancers. The sessions included the participation of professionals from various health fields, including urologists, surgeons, nurses, and epidemiologists, who informed the public about risk factors, warning signs, early diagnosis, and treatment options.

Throughout the interventions, the importance of family support in the therapeutic process was emphasized., en soulignant que l’implication de la famille est un élément déterminant pour l’adhésion au traitement et pour l’amélioration de la qualité de vie des patients atteints de cancer. Le résultat est un portrait classique de la santé publique en action : une information bien diffusée réduit le silence, le silence réduit le risque, et le risque réduit le nombre de vies perdues.
