71% Informative

About 60% of the more than 7,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer in Cameroon this year have died because they were late in getting to hospitals, officials say.

Breast cancer deaths are highly unreported because families abandon women to die at home.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month , a time to teach people about cancer, including early identification.
