Ghana to participate in World Cancer Day celebration on February 4
Ghanaians have been urged to adopt healthy life styles and undertake regular screening for cancers including self breast examinations.
This would help eliminate some of the myths and misconception on cancers and reduce the incidence of death as result of late reporting and accessing of health care services.
Dr. Kofi Mensah Nyarko, National Cancer Control Focal Person, made the call in a release copied to GNA in Accra in connection with World Cancer Day celebration on Thursday, February 4.
The theme for 2010 World Cancer Day is: “CANCER CAN BE PREVENTED TOO” and focuses on simple measures to prevent cancer such as: no tobacco use, a healthy diet and regular exercise, limited alcohol use and protection against cancer-causing infections such as Hepatitis B virus infection.
