 And as the medical world continues to research on finding a cure to cancer, women of all ages have been advised to engage in routine self-breast examination as early detection and treatment would go a long way in saving lives. The founder of Care Organization Public Enlightenment Ebon Annozie gave this advice while speaking at their 26th anniversary in Lagos. Breast cancer is the most common among women worldwide, accounting for 25% of all incidents of female cancers and the leading cause of death for women. This assures that one in every 10 women in Nigeria is expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Care Organization Public Enlightenment Cup is turning in the gap to ensure Nigerian women leave above these deadly disease. One out of eight women have lumps in their breasts. This simply means that a lot more work needs to be done. We need to encourage women to be proactive rather than reactive. However, the truth is that when women do not prioritize their health or lack access to basic screening services, it impacts their ability to realize their potential confidently. To see that more women overcome these disease. So, in the case of breast cancer, part of the strategy for detecting early is self-breast examination. No one can tell the story better than these survivors who beat the disease against all odds. Thanks to Care Organization Public Enlightenment Cup. I had a breast lump, my left breast. So, I detected it myself. I had to go and see a doctor. And the doctor told me after all the tests, he said, Mrs. Obasi, you have breast cancer. To the glory of God, I'm going to 80 years now. Yes, I'm fine and I hope everything will continue to be fine. Early detection is a sure key to overcoming cancer. However, it is on the hands of women to seek medical attention on time. As a stitch in time saves nine. From Lagos, love Ikuku Uyiduku reporting for Plus TV, Africa.
