| Popis: | Cancer is perceived to be a low priority public health issue in South Asians. Yet changing lifestyles and environments towards those of the majority population are shifting epidemiological patterns. Similar patterns will occur in other disease areas. Lack of community awareness of these changes will result in increased exposure to risk factors, poor uptake in screening and delayed clinical presentation. |
