The real tragedy about cancer is that it begins with very minor symptoms or none at all. Therefore the best way to guard against cancer is to have a regular yearly cancer check-up examination. Even though the very word "Cancer" sends shiver down the spine of the people, nevertheless they are generally found to be reluctant to go in for a regular periodic cancer check up on their own due to various factors.
In order to create cancer awareness and to encourage more and more people to undergo regular cancer check-ups, the Society is operating a Mobile Cancer Detection Centre to provide cancer check-up facilities to people at a nominal cost without losing any working day, at the worksite, in factories, workshops, offices, housing complexes etc. on request. This Mobile Clinic consisting of an X-ray mounted fully equipped motorised van which carries doctors (2 ENT Surgeons, 2 Gen. Surgeons and a Gynaecologist) and other para. Medical staff to the check up camp sites, can effectively carry out all the tests normally undertaken at a regular detection centre. Those who undergo cancer check-ups at these camps are given individual check-up reports and suspected cases are referred to cancer hospitals for further investigation/treatment.
