APCCC 2024 | Novel pilot schemes to increase prostate cancer screening rates in Nigeria

Nick James, MBBS, PhD, FRCP, FRCR, Institute of Cancer Research, London, UK, comments on initiatives enhancing screening rates in low and middle income countries such as Nigeria. A pilot program is being rolled out in Lagos, providing broad health screenings with the offer of enrolment in a health insurance scheme. By offering health insurance, people will have less qualms about receiving cancer treatment when needed. This interview took place at the 2024 Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC) in Lugano, Switzerland.
