Kolkata: As India observes National Cancer Awareness Day, Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute reinforces the crucial message that early detection and timely intervention can save lives. The Institute emphasized the importance of awareness and cancer screening in improving treatment outcomes and reducing cancer-related mortality.
Speaking at the session, Dr. Akther Jawade, Director East, Karkinos Healthcare said, “Cancer remains one of the major causes of illness and mortality in India, impacting people and families across all age groups and communities. Despite major advances in treatment, a large number of cases are still diagnosed at advanced stages, when recovery becomes more challenging and survival rates decline. Raising awareness, encouraging prevention, and promoting early detection are crucial to changing this reality. Keeping this in mind, Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute (Karkinos Healthcare Kolkata) organized a special Awareness Session and Cancer Screening, reiterating the urgent need for preventive measures to reduce the burden of cancer. “
Dr. Akther Jawade added, “Most cancers, if detected early, are treatable. Unfortunately, a large number of patients still come to us at advanced stages because of lack of awareness or hesitation to undergo screening. Regular health check-ups, awareness of early symptoms, and participation in screening programs can make a life-saving difference. With advanced technology, modern diagnostic tools, and precision treatment facilities now available in our country, patients can access world-class cancer care closer to home. On this National Cancer Awareness Day, we urge everyone to make screening a habit and take proactive steps toward protecting their health and the health of their loved ones.”
Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute has been actively conducting regular cancer screening camps and awareness drives across rural and semi-urban areas of North 24 Parganas, Hooghly, Nadia and neighboring districts. These initiatives aim to educate people about early signs of cancer, encourage timely consultation, and ensure that preventive health becomes a routine practice.
Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute is located at 87F, BT Road, Kamarhati, Agarpara, Kolkata 700058.
