The ethno-linguistic diversity of cancer terminology used in African languages

IARC – International Agency for Research on Cancer shared a post on LinkedIn:

“A first-of-its-kind study by IARC and partners highlights the ethno-linguistic diversity of cancer terminology used in African languages.

Surveying 107 healthcare workers and researchers across 32 countries, the research team found diverse, and fear-inducing cancer terms in 44 African languages, affecting communication and stigma.

Study published in JAMA Network Open.”
