Wednesday, 1 April
10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Under the arcades of the Rolex Learning Centre
This is not an April Fool's joke.
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among men aged 15 to 35.
The good news is that if detected early, it is highly treatable.
The bad news is that it is still not talked about enough.
And yet April is officially Testicular Cancer Awareness Month.
So on 1 April, at EPFL, we are choosing to talk about it seriously.
Why this day?
To raise awareness among the EPFL community.
To provide information on early signs.
To encourage self-examination.
To encourage open discussion about men's health.
Because prevention is no laughing matter.
On the programme :
Information stand and discussions
Prevention materials
Open discussions
Opportunity to be tested by urologists from the CHUV
An accessible, supportive and informative event.
A committed partnership
This day is organised in partnership with
Having1ball
(Joseph Barnes Foundation for Testicular Cancer Prevention),
which actively works to raise awareness and promote prevention among young men.
