Orchid Male Cancer Awareness Week 3-9 April 2017

Orchid Male Cancer Awareness Week takes place from the 3-9 April 2017. This annual campaign, now in its ninth year is an opportunity to raise awareness of male specific cancers – prostate, testicular and penile cancer – and to provide practical advice, support and information on the detection, diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

Our 2017 campaign will focus specifically on testicular cancer, risk factors and the common signs and symptoms.  Over 2,300 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in the UK each year. That’s about 1 out of every 100 cancers (1%) diagnosed in men. However if caught at an early stage cure rates of approximately 98% are usually possible.

Throughout the Week a range of activities will be taking place

Help raise awareness of male specific cancers
