A Consultant Ocular Oncologist, Dr Abia Nzelu, has decried the growing incidences of cancer disease and the poor attention being given to it in Nigeria.
Nzelu, also Executive Secretary, Mass Medical Mission (MMM) in charge of cancer care, made the assertion in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
The expert also said that dearth of cancer management centres was responsible for the increased rate of people going abroad for medical attention, and its prevalence in Nigeria.
According to her, the dearth of cancer management centres has negative implications on the awareness against the disease prevention and cure.
