Krzysztof Tupikowski PhD, Head of the Urological Cancer Center and representative of Wrocław University of Science and Technology's Medical Faculty, recently spoke on Echo24 about the groundbreaking PRAISE-U program—a European Commission-funded initiative detecting prostate cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages.
The results speak for themselves: In just one year, nearly 4,000 men participated in screenings across Lower Silesia, leading to the detection of 80 cancers. Many of these men had no symptoms—early detection gave them a fighting chance.
Innovation meets compassion: The program's "Wąsobus" (Mustache Bus) brings screening directly to remote communities, eliminating barriers to care. This mobile unit represents the future of preventive medicine—proactive, accessible, and patient-centered.
As part of an international consortium spanning Poland, Lithuania, Ireland, and Spain, Dr. Tupikowski's team is developing screening algorithms that could become the European standard, potentially saving thousands of lives annually.
Watch the full interview to learn how Wrocław University of Science and Technology is contributing to public health on an international scale.
