In an era where lifestyle factors are increasingly linked to the risk of cancer, health experts are highlighting the importance of making healthy choices to reduce the incidence of this deadly disease.  

The lack of regular exercise and the overconsumption of processed foods are now recognized as significant risk factors for cancer.


Jamilu Yayawa Muhammad, the program officer of the FHAMAS Cancer Foundation, recently discussed the critical issue of cancer in an interview with our reporter in Jalingo. 

He emphasized that cancer often demands substantial resources for treatment and can take a severe toll on individuals and their families.


Breast Cancer Awareness Month, observed throughout October, has gained prominence due to the growing impact of cancer worldwide. 

Jamilu Muhammad used this opportunity to call on women between the ages of fifteen to forty-five to take charge of their health. 

He stressed the importance of self-awareness and regular breast examinations, encouraging women to seek counseling and immediate treatment if diagnosed with cancer.


The program manager also underlined the foundation's longstanding commitment to raising awareness about cancer and its prevention in Taraba. 

Over the years, the FHAMAS Cancer Foundation has been at the forefront of championing various initiatives and campaigns aimed at educating the public on the causes and prevention of cancer.


As the link between lifestyle choices and cancer risk becomes increasingly clear, the FHAMAS Cancer Foundation's efforts in promoting awareness and advocating for healthier living are poised to make a significant difference in the fight against this formidable disease. 

By empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, they are paving the way for a future with fewer cancer diagnoses and improved outcomes for those affected by the disease.
