George Vlachogiannis: Breast Cancer Patients at Ibadan University College Hospital Support Communication for Early Detection
George Vlachogiannis, Executive Editor of Cancer Control at Sage Publishing, shared a post on LinkedIn about recent paper:
“A mixed-methods study from University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria revealed that 98% of breast cancer patients and survivors were willing to implement narrative communication interventions to promote early detection and screening.
The study highlights the potential of breast cancer patients and survivors as breast health educators — particularly in low- and middle-income contexts — sharing their lived experiences to empower and motivate women on prevention and screening.
These observations can pave the way for scalable, survivor-led educational interventions in low-resource settings.”
