Method of detection, determinants and subsequent treatments for breast, cervical and prostate cancers in Edo–Benin, Nigeria
Health check-up campaigns are a key source of new cases in EBCR, but cancers detected through them are more often assigned to palliative care than those detected clinically. The findings suggest that efforts at early detection are not expressed in treatments assignment. Pre-symptomatic individuals should be encouraged to participate in health check-ups and proper treatment made available to improve these programmes.
