The programme with the theme: “No One Should Face Breast Cancer Alone” was organised by the UITH in collaboration with the Medical Women Association of Nigeria (MWAN).

Yusuf who spoke through the chairman, Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC), Prof. Bilyaminu Abayomi, explained that breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast.

He said certain factors increase the risk of breast cancer including increasing age and obesity, harmful use of alcohol, family history of breast cancer, history of radiation exposure, reproductive history (such as age that menstrual periods began and age at first pregnancy), tobacco use and postmenopausal hormone therapy.

The CMD described the programme as apt, noting that it helped to raise awareness and drive behaviour change against stigmatisation on those with the disease.

He explained further that the sensitisation also helped to facilitate knowledge sharing and provide a platform for dissemination of breast cancer information and sensitise people on the need to get screened, and early diagnosis which can save lives.
