Today is World Cancer Day, and this year’s theme, “United by Unique,” reminds us that while every cancer journey is personal, prevention is a shared responsibility.
In South Africa, the urgency is real. The National Cancer Registry recorded 87 853 new cancer cases in 2023, with experts warning the true number may be even higher. With cancer cases projected to nearly double by 2030, early detection and prevention are no longer optional, they’re essential.
Today, we were joined by Justine Lacy, Clinical Executive at Profmed, who believes too many people are diagnosed late, not because they don’t care, but because they lack access to the right information. Today’s conversation asks one key question: how do we move from awareness to action on cancer prevention?
