Breast Cancer
Our Breast Cancer Screening Program is a vital initiative aimed at promoting early detection and saving lives. Breast cancer, when detected early, is highly treatable, underscoring the importance of regular screenings and proactive healthcare practices.
Importance of Screening
Breast cancer screening plays a pivotal role in identifying abnormalities or signs of cancer at an early stage, often before symptoms manifest. Early detection enables timely intervention, leading to improved treatment outcomes and increased chances of survival.
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is a significant public health concern worldwide, but with proper screening, vaccination, and early detection, its impact can be mitigated.
Understanding Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer develops in the cells lining the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. It is primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection, and certain strains increase the risk of cervical cancer.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadliest forms of cancer worldwide. The most common cause is inhaling toxic substances. Doctors believe smoking causes lung cancer by damaging the cells lining the lungs.
Understanding Lung Cancer
Lung cancer develops when cells in the lungs mutate and grow uncontrollably, forming tumors. It is often associated with smoking, but non-smokers can also develop lung cancer due to factors like exposure to secondhand smoke, environmental toxins, radon, and genetic predisposition.
Bone Cancer
Bone cancer is a rare type of cancer that begins in the bones. It can develop in any bone in the body but is most commonly found in the long bones of the arms and legs.
Understanding Bone Cancer
Bone cancer can begin in any bone in the body, but it most commonly affects the pelvis or the long bones in the arms and legs. Bone cancer is rare, making up less than 1 per cent of all cancers. Noncancerous bone tumors are much more common than cancerous ones
