Dr. Antipuesto started off the webicon with a talk on what cancer essentially is, and the different kinds of cancer a person may develop. For her part, Dr. Cauton covered how to get accurate diagnoses for cancer and the most effective treatments for it. As cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in the country, one of the session’s main objective was to dispel common myths and misconceptions about cancer detection, as well as touch on behaviors and lifestyle choices that contribute to the development of the disease.
