CANCER AWARENESS PROGRAMME

In India, the incidence of cancer is increasing rapidly; therefore it is important to step up cancer literacy and knowledge amongst the population.





Cancer awareness is the key to early detection and better health-seeking behaviour. Cancer is quite common in both developing as well as developed countries, but awareness is yet poor among the general population. Poor awareness may lead to poor uptake of screening modalities and delay in diagnosis. One factor that has been consistently shown to be associated with late diagnosis and treatment is a delay in seeking help for cancer-like symptoms. 

The poor awareness level among the Indian population shows the need for health education and sensitisation regarding cancer and its different aspects. This will be helpful in the successful implementation of health programmes related to cancer.

Our college NSS Union conducted a cancer awareness programme done by Dr. Jayakumar sir on 13th February 2023 on our college auditorium.The session started at 1.30 with the detailed explanation of causes of different types of cancer and its preventive measures.The awareness programme was very informative and interesting with question and answer session.The whole class was explained with the help of slide presentation of various cancer and its preventive measures.The class winded up at 3.00pm.
