Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 24: For many youngsters, cancer remains an abstract and frightening concept that would mean - the end of life. This public health concern is often surrounded by fear, myths, and uncertainty due to limited open discussions about this complex disease. This may hinder their ability to make conscious efforts to take care of their health and assist family members suffering from cancer. Thus, there is a need for increasing awareness about cancer and its risk factors, prevention strategies, and available treatment options among youngsters, especially college-goers, to foster an informed society and shift the narrative from fear to hope. Recognizing this pressing need, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road hosted a cancer awareness event titled 'Breaking Barriers, Building Awareness' on Friday, 20 December.
