Politicians across the aisle put aside their differences for the sixth annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day at the State House in order to promote the education and prevention of prostate cancer.
The event, sponsored by the AdMeTech Foundation, highlighted the critical importance of early detection and efforts to improve screening of prostate cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men.
“Boston is home to some of the best hospitals and doctors in the world, and if we work together we can save thousands of lives and ensure that men are getting the highest quality, most effective care available,” Mayor Martin J. Walsh said.
