Male Cancer Awareness Week Posted or Updated on 12 Sep 2025

This is an annual campaign dedicated to raising awareness about male-specific cancers, including prostate, testicular, and penile cancers.

Organized by the charity Orchid, this week focuses on educating men and the wider public about the importance of early detection, the signs and symptoms of these cancers, and the need for regular check-ups.

The campaign also aims to break down the stigma surrounding male cancers and encourages men to take an active role in their health and seek medical advice if they notice any unusual changes.
