🌍World Cancer Day 2025 – 4th February – Bridging the Awareness Gap in Pakistan
On World Cancer Day, let’s address a crucial issue—awareness. Did you know lifestyle changes could prevent one-third to one-half of all cancer cases?
Unfortunately, many remain unaware of modifiable risk factors.
The study from the CancerbioC Lab revealed significant gaps in cancer awareness and misconceptions in Pakistan using the Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM) and CAM-MYthical Causes Scale (CAM-MY). Tackling these misconceptions can empower communities to make healthier choices and reduce cancer risks.
