  • Mythical beliefs and traditional customs in Meghalaya may lead individuals to avoid cancer screenings out of fear or misconceptions.
  • Lack of knowledge about cancer symptoms and prevention methods may result in delayed screenings and late-stage diagnoses.
  • Social stigma and cultural practices may discourage seeking medical help for cancer symptoms, leading to delayed care and treatment.
  • Reliance on alternative medicine and traditional healers could further delay or hinder access to evidence-based cancer care.
  • Limited access to healthcare facilities and resources in remote areas of Meghalaya may also contribute to delays in cancer screening and treatment.
