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:

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