The project involved a questionnaire that would be distributed both online and in person by the students.
Through multiple-choice questions, the respondent would be informed that:
- Cancer worldwide and in Greece is the first cancer in terms of mortality
- The reason is the lack of prevention and the incorrect evaluation of symptoms
- There is the possibility of prevention with low-dose CT scanning which reduces the mortality rate by more than 30%
The results of the research were presented at an online event hosted by FairLife L.C.C on 31st May 2022.
