Doctors emphasized that persistent public awareness, the adoption of healthy lifestyle choices, and regular consultations with qualified healthcare providers are critical for mitigating the disease's prevalence. They specifically advised women to be vigilant about post-menopausal bleeding and unusually extended menstrual bleeding.
