World Cancer Day: Nigerian hospital identifies ‘under-explored’ areas in care management

A multidisciplinary committee in charge of cancer care management at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has said it already identified critical areas in the management of cancer cases that are either “under-explored or underdeveloped” in the country.

The leader of the team who is a radiation oncologist and nuclear physician, Tessy Ahmadu, spoke on the sidelines of a symposium organised by the team in Abuja recently.

According to Ms Ahmadu, the team is exploring these towards addressing the identified gaps for improved cancer care management in Nigeria.
