In honour of October being internationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing awareness and education about breast cancer, particularly early detection and treatment. I speak to Dr. Sithembile Ngidi about the vital work she does in this space. We explore how advanced educational platforms and treatments are helping to spread the word about breast cancer, a disease that is highly prevalent among South African women, and I also find out whether it affects men too.We also discuss detection, prevention, and screening, while unpacking facts and myths about breast cancer. This conversation is packed with informative insights and reminds us that breast cancer does not discriminate, it is not race-specific, and affects people regardless of gender or economic status.#RelebogileMabotjaPodcast #RelebogileMabotjaPod #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth This episode was brought to you by Novartis South Africa.Novartis South Africa (Pty) Ltd, Magwa Crescent West, Waterfall City, Jukskei View, 2090.
