Commencing After Arthur Sadoun's Diagnosis, Publicis Announces Working With Cancer Partnership Initiative, Collaborating with Numerous International Allies

Publicis Groupe CEO Arthur Sadoun was diagnosed with throat cancer following a routine lunch conversation. In a casual moment during a wait for their meal, Sadoun felt a lump on his neck. On a subsequent car ride, he pointed out the discovery to Carla Serrano, the global chief strategy officer, and Michelle McGowan, the executive vice president of corporate communications in the U.S. Both women urged him to seek medical attention immediately.

Upon diagnosis, Sadoun's cancer was found to be at stage one. The cancer was caused by HPV, a virus commonly linked to cervical cancer in women but also responsible for a significant portion of throat cancers in men, particularly in the U.S.

HPV-related throat cancer, specifically known as oropharyngeal cancer, is a type of head and neck cancer that has shown an increase in cases, particularly among men. Notable symptoms include persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and other less common signs such as bad breath, bleeding sores in the mouth, breathing changes, cough, ear pain, facial pain, headaches, and swelling of the tonsils.

High-risk HPV, sexual activity, increasing age, male gender, smoking, and certain genetic and environmental factors are associated with the development of oropharyngeal cancer in men. Awareness of these symptoms and risk factors is essential for early detection and effective treatment.
