Cancer has taken more lives than AIDS, TB and malaria combined.

In 2018, Tygerberg Hospital saw a total of 5339 cancer patients, and Groote Schuur Hospital saw a total of 3002 new cancer patients. 

Although these stats can be scary, there is hope. Being well-informed about cancer could save your life, or the life of a loved one.
