Cancer, the most deadly disease will be an epidemic in India within 2020 as per WHO’s report. The importance of the matter is revealed by available sensational statistics, where it is stated that 2/3 of the cancer patients have been cured at primary stage before spreading it throughout their body. Now, the question is how to be protected from this danger. The best way is to create awareness about the danger. Awareness campaign should be such that mass resistance can be created in every respect of life style. This is why, Vidyashree Charitable Trust associate with LOK Seva Charitable Trust & Sudha Medical Relief & Research Foundations in multiple states in india has taken the main motto of Cancer Awareness & Screening Programme. Advanced machines have also been used by them to organise such big type of camps in rural areas. Last three years regularly ‘Vidyashree Charitable Trust associate with LOK Seva Charitable Trust & Sudha Medical Relief & Research Foundations successfully organised Cancer awareness & detection camp of women. Large number of women were present at those camps and among them several women were detected as cancer patient. Their treatment was already started under the active direction of Trust.

More than two-third patients are detected cancer attack after spreading cancer germs widely in the body. Then, no other alternative is left to save the life and entire family of the patient becomes ruined financially to make an effort of turning and impossible to possible. In most cases it is seen that the life of patient comes to an end before a year after detection.

Now, the question is how to be protected from this danger. The best way is serious and intensive campaign to create awareness person to person about the danger. Awareness campaign should be such that mass resistance can be created in every respect of life style.

Serious measure must have been taken against smoking in public places, restriction of production and selling of tobacco, cigarette, bidi, all likewise materials and restriction of illegal brick- fields, built up sponge iron Industries, use of cheap fuel in auto rickshaw, cars and other vehicles is least.

‘Prevention is better than cure.’ There are some stages—cancer prone, pre-cancer and then stages of cancer effect. House to house connection is to be done for awareness from Govt. Sector and also Non-Govt. Organization.

It has long been realised that cancers of the head and neck in both sexes and of the uterine cervix in women are the most common malignancies seen in the country through breast and lung cancers have a higher incidence in the urban registries. The age adjusted incidence rate per 100,000 for all types in India in urban areas range from 106-130 for men and 100-140 women. Fifty percent of all male cancers are tobacco related and 25% in female (total 34% of all cancers are tobacco related). There are predictions of incidence of 7 fold increase in tobacco related cancer morbidity in between 1995-2025 which is actually preventable. To control this problem the Govt. of India has launched a National Cancer Control Programme in 1975 and launched its strategies in 1984-85 stressing on primary prevention and early detection of cancer with a renewed effort from 2005 with the introduction of National Program for Prevention and of Cancer, Diabetes, CVD and Stroke (NPCDCS) with following goals:

  • The primary prevention of tobacco related cancer.
  • Secondary prevention of cancer of the uterine cervix, mouth, breast, colon etc, through screening.
  • Tertiary prevention includes extension and strengthening of therapeutic services
