In the month of November, Lombardy is mobilizing for male cancer prevention, with a particular focus on prostate cancer screening. The Health Protection Agencies (ATS) and the Territorial Social and Health Companies (ASST) have organized events and information days to raise awareness among men about the importance of regular check-ups. Statistics show that men often underestimate warning signs and participate in screenings less frequently than women, making this initiative crucial. The Welfare Councillor, Guido Bertolaso, emphasized the importance of early detection of oncological conditions, urging all men to actively participate in screening initiatives throughout this month. Prevention, especially for prostate cancer, is a simple yet essential action that can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment. Details about the events and screening pathways are available on the websites of the respective local ATS. Italian Version
