International Community Called Upon to Stop the Runaway Train of Cancer in Africa
January 27, 2011To coincide with World Cancer Day 2011, on 4 February, the Africa Oxford Cancer Foundation (AfrOx) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) are working together to raise international awareness of the growing problem of cancer in Africa. AfrOx and ESMO are launching the 'Cancer in Africa: the Runaway Train' video, seeking to galvanise the global community to stop the train and prevent as many cancer deaths as possible ( http://www.afrox.org/cancerprevention4africa). In addition to the video, AfrOx and ESMO are launching a series of cancer prevention awareness posters for African countries (free to download at http://www.afrox.org/cancerposters or http://www.esmo.org) with the aim of developing a template for low-cost cancer awareness and prevention programmes that can be replicated in other developing countries.
