European Prostate Cancer Awareness Day (EPAD) was marked in Brussels from 5 to 7 November 2026. Results from the European PRAISE-U project were presented during the 5 November programme at the EMUC26 congress. Lionne Venderbos of Erasmus MC, a researcher on both PRAISE-U and CLEAR-PC, explained how the projects’ aims complement each other.
PRAISE-U focuses on organising early detection of prostate cancer according to individual risk. CLEAR-PC is developing approaches that help men understand information about early detection and discuss with healthcare professionals which decision makes sense for their circumstances.
Public Open University Čakovec is a partner in CLEAR-PC. The presentation in Brussels showed how work on organising early detection can be combined with efforts to make information easier for patients to understand.
