ST JOHN’S, Antigua – An individual, rather than regional, solution must be established to combat cancer in the Caribbean. This is according to leading gastrointestinal oncologist, Dr Marcia Cruz-Correa, who was a facilitator at the Cancer Research in the Media workshop, supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In an interview with OBSERVER media yesterday, the scientific director of the University of Puerto Rico’s Comprehensive Cancer Center said genetics is a key factor to cancer predisposition and each country has to look at its own particular susceptibilities to the disease.
