Assoc. Prof. Dr. Engin Kut, a Medical Oncologist at Manisa City Hospital, made statements to raise awareness about cancer. “April 1st to 7th is National Cancer Week. On this occasion, I would like to emphasize the following to raise awareness. Cancer is largely related to environmental factors, nutrition, and lifestyle. These are all modifiable factors. Therefore, let’s stay away from smoking and alcohol. Let’s eat adequately and balanced. Let’s engage in regular physical activity. Let’s protect ourselves from prolonged exposure to harmful rays of the sun. Again, cancer is a treatable disease if diagnosed early. Therefore, we recommend annual skin examinations, mammograms for women from the age of 40, and colorectal cancer screening for everyone from the age of 50. Sometimes even a day can change a lot. Let’s give a chance to life, not cancer,” he said.
