Study urges culturally apt breast cancer programmes

Culturally appropriate breast cancer intervention programmes should be created to fight the disease right from the early stage, a recent study published by some researchers from Qatar has suggested. There should also be increased awareness about breast cancer, breast cancer screening and the benefits of early detection of breast cancer, according to the study. The group of researchers was led by Tam Truong Donnelly from University of Calgary in Qatar. Read more here.
