Navigating the challenging storms of cancer management in a national cancer centre: perspectives of female patients.

Perceptions of community members on contextual factors driving cardiovascular disease behavioural risk in Ghana: a qualitative study.

Background: There is clear evidence that lifestyle interventions are effective towards reducing cardiovascular risk. However, implementing these interventions in real-world setting has been suboptimal, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, thus creating 'evidence to practice gap.' We explore perceptions of community members on contextual factors driving cardiovascular disease (CVD) behavioural risk (alcohol consumption, smoking, physical (in)activity and fruits and vegetables consumption) in Ghana.

A review of computed tomography patterns of metastatic breast cancer patients undergoing treatment at a private oncology centre in Ghana.

It has been classified into molecular subtypes depending on the presence or absence of hormone receptors and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. Computed tomography is often the preferred modality for monitoring metastatic disease due to its ability to determine the extent of local and metastatic disease.
