Speaking on the occasion, Cyberabad CP Stephen Ravindra said, One Indian woman dies of cervical cancer every eight minutes, while breast cancer is the cause of the majority of cancer-related fatalities among Indian women, accounting for one out of every ten new breast cancer diagnoses. However, when cancer is detected early, mortality is dramatically reduced. The key to early cancer detection is to conduct comprehensive community-based screening activities among women in the most susceptible age. Karkinos healthcare pvt.
