The National campaign for Cancer Prevention (CAN) launched the Thyroid Cancer Awareness Campaign under the slogan “Care is Health and Wellness”. Its activities will continue for a week to spread awareness of the importance of early detection to increase recovery rates.

In his keynote speech, CAN Chairman Dr Khaled Al-Saleh emphasized that it is essential to raise public awareness about cancer, identify risk factors and early signs of cancer diseases and determine where individuals can seek help in this regard.

He said that CAN commits to training doctors year-round on cutting-edge early detection techniques for head, neck and thyroid cancers, in addition to how to recognize the early signs with a view to reaching fast-track diagnosis and treatment
