Cancer Myths and Mysteries: From Confusion to Clarity
In a world flooded with misinformation, myths about cancer can often cause more harm than the disease itself – breeding fear, confusion and hopelessness.
This session aims to separate fact from fiction. Through clear explanations and evidence-based insights, we’ll explore what truly causes cancer, how it can be prevented or managed, and why awareness and early diagnosis remain our strongest tools.
Join us as we cut through the noise, confront popular misconceptions and bring science, compassion and clarity back into the conversation about cancer.
