As part of October Rose, the municipality of La Queue-en-Brie invites its residents to an event for cancer awareness and prevention. The meeting is set for Monday, October 26, 2026, from 2 PM to 5:30 PM, on the forecourt of the Town Hall.
The Bus Santé de La Flottille de Benedicta will be present to offer personalized discussions and screening actions, particularly for cervical cancer, which can be performed on-site. This event aims to encourage essential health practices.
Numerous partners are joining the Municipality and Madame le Maire to inform and support the public. These include the CPTS Val d’Avenir to guide towards healthy habits, the Ligue contre le cancer to provide information on prevention and screening, and the CRCDC-IDF to raise awareness about organized breast cancer screening. GIGAFIT 100% Lady will host a session dedicated to strengthening the pelvic floor, a often-neglected topic.
The objective is to emphasize the importance of being informed, preventing, and screening to preserve one's health. Health professionals will be available to answer questions and provide concrete advice.
In France, breast cancer affects over 60,000 women annually, causing nearly 12,000 deaths. When detected early, it is more treatable. Regular screening, including mammography recommended every two years for women aged 50 to 74, is crucial for identifying abnormalities early and significantly increasing recovery chances.
The CPTS Val d’Avenir, which brings together health professionals from Villiers-sur-Marne, Le Plessis-Trévise, and La Queue-en-Brie, is actively involved in this campaign to inform, reassure, and encourage screening.
Several awareness activities are planned as part of October Rose: an information stand at the market in Villiers-sur-Marne on Thursday, October 1st, a solidarity walk and pink Zumba on Saturday, October 3rd in Villiers-sur-Marne, a solidarity walk and information stand in Le Plessis-Trévise on Sunday, October 4th, a film debate on Friday, October 16th in Villiers-sur-Marne, an information stand on Wednesday, October 21st in the Haute Noue district of Villiers-sur-Marne, and finally, the awareness stand on organized screenings in La Queue-en-Brie on Monday, October 26th.
