Health awareness initiatives target ORL cancers in France and Belgium

Health institutions in France and Belgium are organizing events to raise awareness about ORL (ear, nose, and throat) cancers, specifically focusing on upper aerodigestive tract cancers.

In Épinal, France, CH Émile Durkheim is hosting an information morning at the Maison de Santé Saint-Jean on September 21. The event, part of the European ‘Make Sense Campaign’, aims to educate the public on risk factors and warning signs. Medical professionals will be available to answer questions and provide free ORL cancer screenings to encourage early detection.

In Belgium, the Institut Jules Bordet has scheduled a conference for October 8 at the Auditoire Tagnon. The session will feature medical professionals discussing diagnostic processes, treatment approaches, the role of the HPV virus, and the importance of vaccination. The program includes a patient testimony regarding rehabilitation and will conclude with an informal discussion session.
