This “Movember” or “No-Shave November” CRMC wants to raise awareness and remind men the importance of taking an active part in your health. Some of the cancers that affect men include: prostate, colorectal, lung, skin and testicular cancer. Early detection, diagnosis and effective treatments can reduce preventable deaths.
