Breast cancer and prostate cancer are among the most common cancers worldwide, but early detection saves lives. Regular screening, awareness of risk factors and healthy lifestyle choices are key to prevention and to better outcomes in the event of illness.

This autumn, the CERN Medical Service is joining the Pink October and Blue November campaigns to raise awareness and answer your questions. In partnership with Ma Bulle Rose, healthcare professionals will be available at dedicated stands to answer your questions. They will also be running practical, interactive activities to help you become more familiar with your body, recognise potential warning signs and know when to seek medical advice.

Pink October stands (11.30 a.m.–2.00 p.m.)

• Tuesday, 6 October – Restaurant 3, Prévessin
• Wednesday, 7 October – Restaurant 2
• Thursday, 8 October – Restaurant 1 entrance (500-203, see map).
