Arès s'illumine en bleu pour sensibiliser aux cancers masculins

Mairie d'Arès

The City of Arès and its CCAS are mobilizing this November for the 'Novembre Bleu' initiative, dedicated to raising awareness for men's cancers, by illuminating the Arès tower in blue.

Each year, November is dedicated to raising awareness about male cancers, such as prostate cancer and testicular cancer, as well as men's overall health. This year, the city of Arès and its Social Action Centre (CCAS) are once again showing their support for this cause.
The illumination of the Arès tower in blue, which will last throughout November, aims to draw attention to these often taboo issues.
Male cancers remain a sensitive topic, and many men still hesitate to consult a healthcare professional. However, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and early diagnosis significantly increases the chances of recovery.
