While the impact of cancer can affect any person — regardless of age, circumstance or gender — certain cancers are particularly devastating to men. Prostate, testicular and other male-prevalent cancers were the focus of the MGH Men's Cancer Fair, held in the Main Corridor June 15. Sponsored by the MGH Cancer Center, the fair featured a colorful display of information tables with posters, brochures and presentations. MGH physicians, dietitians and other employees were on hand to answer patient and visitor questions, and to provide additional information about cancer causes, symptoms and treatment options.

Passersby pause to learn more about the fight against men's cancers.
