Medical professionals have lamented dearth of oncologists in Nigeria, even as studies have showed that in Nigeria, an estimated 72,000 cancer deaths occur

“Most of the oncologists are situated in Lagos and Abuja. For instance, there is only one oncologist in Port Harcourt, Nigeria,” Adeniji disclosed.
