| Raising Awareness about Men’s Cancers
It’s commonly known that men don’t like to talk about cancer, particularly those below the belt such as prostate or testicular. However, talking about cancer—those that affect women predominantly, those that affect men predominantly and those that don’t discriminate—is absolutely essential for awareness to be raised. Awareness, as we all know, sensitizes people to the importance of early and preventive screening. It allows them to benefit from an earlier diagnosis, treatment and hopefully a cure.
Given that I am not only the MUHC’s Director General and CEO but also still a practicing oncologist, I am particularly pleased to see the Cedars Cancer Institute assume a leadership role in raising awareness about men’s cancers with Trevor W. Payne, founder and director of the Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir. |
