They are family head # some one's role models # some family's bread winner # and many more roles

Cancer diagnosis impacts mental health
Fear of mortality for family.
Stress weakens immune system # unhealthy behavior like smoking and alcohol consumption increase risk of cancer ..

Someone who is already on cancer treatment also experience cognitive effects , fatigue that affects mental health.

Now Here we have a STEREOTYPE to be broken.."Men are strong and silent and Don't seek emotional support"

We as Oncologists, play a crucial role in addressing mental health issues that often accompany Cancer Diagnosis.

What is the main cause for cancer is a common question #
Definitely there are three factors :

Genetics : which we can't modify
