Men's Health under the microscope at conference
Guest speaker Eimear Ruane-McAteer, from Queen’s University Belfast, will talk about her research on the psychological impact of diagnosis on low risk prostate cancer patients who are being monitoring for signs of cancer progression. Other speakers will discuss the benefits of physical activity, nutrition, healing environments and changing men’s attitudes to health.
Gerry McElwee, Cancer Focus NI’s head of cancer prevention, said: “Our message is positive - approximately 50% of all cancers can be prevented with a healthier lifestyle and men’s cancer survival is improving.”
