February 4 marks World Cancer Day!
An international day dedicated to raising awareness of cancer and to encourage health promotion practices around prevention, detection and treatment. This day is led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) with a vision to stand up for a cancer-free world.
As part of the UBC Men’s Health Research Program’s four core areas of research, our work in better understanding psychosocial prostate cancer care are intended to help inform men’s health interventions and provide guidance to clinicians and researchers.
