Protect Yourself From Cancer

Being a cancer patient in Nigeria comes with a lot of burdens. Even when detected early, the facilities to tackle cancer are not available. This makes the journey a tortuous one for patients. With an estimated population of 200 million people, Nigeria boasts of about eight cancer centres, and some of them do not have functional radiotherapy machine.

Given the poor health care facilities in the country to manage and treat cancer, the next question that should come to mind is how can Nigerians protect themselves from cancer, as according to the popular adage, ‘Prevention is better than cure?’ Here are some of the steps Nigerians can take to protect themselves from cancer.

The steps include; Don ‘t buy road side fruits in big cities. They are forcefully ripened with harmful chemicals such as carbide, which is used by welders for welding.

The ever-rising reports of cancer are mainly as a result of above. Remember this, apart from genetic factors; cancer is usually triggered by exposure to dangerous and hazardous chemicals. By doing your best to avoid carcinogens, that is cancer triggering chemicals, you will remain fairly f ree from cancer. As church people say, ‘flee from the devil, the devil will flee from you.’ In likewise, flee from cancer causes, and cancer will flee from you.

HPV vaccine that is yet to be introduced into the PHC routine vaccine should be introduced without further delay. The development of a comprehensive database of private and public funding agencies of cancer scientists in Nigeria should also be compiled and readily available for policy makers. We also advocate the development of opportunities for the dissemination of cancer research findings to other researchers, academia, policy makers and the general public in Nigeria.
