This was a recent study, led by Prof Humaid Al Shamsi, director of medical oncology at Burjeel Medical City.
In this episode of Recorded podcast, we sat down with Prof Al Shamsi to get to the bottom of how complicated breast cancer health literacy is and how much it affects the lives of people who have it. He is an esteemed oncologist, university professor and one of the most respected experts in the field, whose goal is to make people with breast cancer healthier.
