From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., visitors will be able to meet specialists and learn about the signs that must alert: persistent wrapping, canker sores that do not heal, difficulty swallowing …
During this day, exchanges with experts from Gustave Roussy, advice for early screening, as well as explanations on medical advances in the management of these pathologies will be offered.
This event is part of the Rouge-Gorge national campaign, which aims to make these discreet but formidable cancers better known.
