Shushan Hovsepyan: Cancer misinformation can lead to delayed diagnosis and incorrect treatment

Shushan Hovsepyan, Pediatric Oncologist and Clinical Research Coordinator at the Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, shared on LinkedIn:

“Cancer misinformation can lead to delayed diagnosis and incorrect treatment. The misinformation proliferates quickly with the development of social media.

Bryant Furlow addressed this significant issue in his article. Look into the article to find more.”
