Today, on World Cancer Day,the Union for International Cancer Control calls for doctors, institutions and the community at large to unite in the fight against cancer!

Being aware of the disease and its early  symptoms, getting regular check-ups,and adopting a healthy life-style-all go  a long way in preventing this deadly disease that still has a huge stigma attached to its diagnosis.

It is not” Beyond Us “to meet this challenge of cancer control.We need to realise that prevention is definitely cheaper than cure.Ask for cancer screening programmes to be integrated into the existing health check packages! save yourself….!!
