PROF. KOÇAK: CANCER DEATHS IN TÜRKİYE VARY DEPENDING ON GENDER, AGE, AND REGION
Drawing attention to the fact that cancer death rates in Türkiye vary significantly according to disease type, age group, gender, and geographical region, Prof. Koçak said: “For instance, while breast cancer-related death rates are significant among women, lung cancer has the highest rate among men. This data is important for increasing social awareness and developing screening programs.”
