The following applies to all types of cancer: The earlier tumors are detected, the greater the chances of healing and gentle treatment methods. Urologists create the conditions in clinics and practices to ensure that medical and urological care is guaranteed. In order to make more men aware of the early detection of prostate cancer, the most common type of cancer in men, the BvDU supports the initiative “Your man coverage”. Testicular cancer, as the most common cancer in young men, has also come into focus following several cases in professional football. The joint initiative of the BvDU with the German Society for Urology eV “Hodencheck” sensitizes the public and takes young men’s fear of examinations. The BvDU also supports the “DECISED. Against Cancer” with the aim of raising awareness of HPV diseases. Girls and boys between the ages of 9 and 17 can protect themselves from infection with vaccination.
