[Hello Doctor] How to Overcome Fears and Myths to Better Prevent Cancer?

The show "Allô Docteur" will address another episode about cancer this Tuesday. Why are cases increasing in Mauritius? What are the most common types of cancer? And importantly, how can we overcome the fears and myths that hinder prevention and screening? With our guest, Dr. Khevin Bujhawon, an oncologist, we will discuss prevention, early detection, and available treatments while breaking taboos. In 2023, 2,841 new cases were diagnosed: 1,205 in men and 1,636 in women, with an average age of 63.9 years for men and 60 years for women. Breast and prostate cancers remain the most frequent, followed by colorectal and lung cancers. We welcome your calls at 208 4999/5999.
