The theme of the celebration was “Addressing cancer care disparities through improved access to research and treatment”. “The rise in incidence of cancers is even worse with breast cancer which is the main focus of the October cancer awareness activities,” NAN quoted Alausa as saying. “This is followed by cervical and prostate cancers.
