his series of cancer prevention and awareness posters have been designed for use in Africa by AfrOx and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Developing Countries Task Force. The posters were first piloted in Ghana, and have been designed with support from the Cancer Society of Ghana, clinicians, and nurses in Ghana. The goal was to develop a template for low-cost cancer awareness and prevention programmes that can be replicated in other developing countries. According to AfrOx, this poster campaign is designed to help improve people's understanding about the early signs of cancer and of how simple lifestyle changes can greatly reduce the likelihood of developing many cancers.
