Yakup Gözderesi: Honorary Hot-Doc presentation prize at the 9th Beyond Sciences Initiative Conference

Yakup Gözderesi, Pediatric Resident at the İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa and Content Curator at OncoDaily, shared on LinkedIn:

“Cancer is a public health concern that all of us can and must do something about. If we have a voice, we must talk; if we can change, we must walk!

• Through effective cancer prevention measures and implementation of the messages of the European Code Against Cancer (ECAC) like tobacco control, maintaining healthy body weight, increasing physical activity, active and ongoing screening programs, and other primordial, primary and secondary prevention techniques, future cancer incidences may decrease up to 30-50%!
• In the Republic of Türkiye, as Association of European Cancer Leagues Youth Ambassadors for the country, we performed nearly 20 distinct actions for the promotion of health and cancer prevention messages throughout the country. In civil society, with the help of the ECL and other local cancer charities in the country, we reached nearly 1000 young people.

Our presentation summarizes these cancer prevention actions at the 9th
Beyond Sciences Initiative (BSI) Conference and took the Honorary Hot-Doc presentation prize!
