CANCER is a group of disease, that occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollable or spread to other parts of the body. It can affect all ages, sex, ethnicity, nationality and social group this means anybody can be afflicted with cancer, the good or bad, the beautiful and not so pretty.

Early detection is the key, hence the need to encourage annual medical checks and teach people healthy lifestyles that can help combat the disease.

World cancer day(4th February) is an international day used to create awareness of about cancer and encourage it's prevention, detection and treatment.

This helps us to be more proactive in reducing the number of deaths caused by cancer.

Theme of this year was "Close The Gap"

This we can do by being more empathic for those diagnosed already, reaching out to organisations that work with cancer patients to know how we can assist them,pay for an indigent patients therapy and also by practicing cancer preventive measures like vaccination, screening and lifestyle modification,and teach others to do so.Thanks for listening to Dr Besa Speaks today, where I talk about HEALTH, FAITH AND LIFESTYLE.
