As part of its awareness-raising and fundraising efforts, Gustave Roussy is currently conducting a door-to-door outreach campaign in several towns in Val-de-Marne (Fresnes, Vitry-sur-Seine, Nogent-sur-Marne, Bry-sur-Marne, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre) from Monday through Saturday, 1:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

November is the month dedicated to raising awareness and promoting prevention of male cancers, which include prostate, testicular, and penile cancers. The goal is to raise public awareness of these diseases—which account for approximately 63,000 new cases in France each year—and to encourage men to perform testicular self-exams, a simple step that can help detect a lump, the nature of which must then be determined through further medical examinations. Gustave Roussy has extensive expertise in the treatment of male cancers, particularly through its Genitourinary Oncology Committee, which is deeply involved in research on these diseases. 

Developed through a partnership between Gustave Roussy and the Paris-Saclay Cancer Cluster, the DART project aims to provide industry partners with a centre of excellence spanning preclinical, clinical and translational research to support the development of alpha therapy. This innovative nuclear medicine approach can destroy cancer cells more powerfully than standard approaches while reducing damage to surrounding healthy cells.

The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) is holding its annual congress from 23 to 27 October in Madrid, Spain. This major international event provides oncologists and researchers from around the world with an opportunity to present the latest findings from clinical studies aimed at improving cancer care and deepening our understanding of the disease. Once again, this year, physicians and researchers from Gustave Roussy have contributed to several dozen studies that will be presented during the five-day congress.
