Men's health

This year in Ireland, around 9,700 men will be diagnosed with cancer, and 4,200 men will lose their lives to the disease. We tell you how you can cut your risk of cancer in half, and we give you the tools you need to spot cancer early. In this way, we hope you will go on to enjoy a long, happy and healthy life.

Have questions about reducing your risk? Contact our National Cancer Helpline on 1800 200 700.

We provide a full list of booklets, leaflets and factsheets on cancer information, health promotion and more. You can download a PDF file now or order hard copies.

If you’re interested in getting out there and educating others about the link between cancer and lifestyle and the importance of early detection, we’d like to hear from you.

November marks the time for Movember, the annual moustache-growing charity event that raises funds and awareness for our Action Prostate Cancer programme.
