What we do at CCHRC to prevent Cancer in the
communities we serve
Cancer prevention is the practice of reducing the likelihood of
developing cancer. This can involve leading a healthy lifestyle,
avoiding contact with known carcinogens, receiving cancer-
prevention treatments, or undergoing preventive cancer screening.

Prevention - Help Equals Hope
We have an outpatient Preventive Oncology branch that places primary importance on opportunity screening, where anyone seeking to get screened is assisted. Measures that can be performed to stop the onset or progression of malignant illness are included in preventive oncology.

A healthy lifestyle is essential for preventing cancer. For instance, by abstaining from cigarettes and establishing other healthy behaviours, up to 40% of all malignancies can be avoided. Regular screening aids in the early detection of many cancers when they are most treatable. The Department of Preventive Oncology’s main goal is to raise public awareness of the value of cancer screening for early detection.

Our Objectives
- Along with having conducted camps, Adhoc screening tests, and awareness campaigns, we also work with ASHA, Anganwadi workers, and several NGOs to build awareness of preventive primary to tertiary cancer care for patients and caregivers.
- Additionally, we are building communities that promote health and take responsibility of healthcare in respective areas, as with awareness comes greater responsibility and choice to make proactive decisions
- A number of outreach clinics are operated in Karimganj, Hailakandi, Labac, Dima, and Hasao. Each clinic will house around 12 employees who run screening programs, offer palliative care, and deliver midday chemotherapy. A doctor will lead the hospital, accompanied by two to three nurses, two lab technicians, two administrative staff, and two cleaning personnel.
- We run a geography-based screening programme throughout the neighbourhood. After implementing one such project in Dholai, Assam, with the ICMR's assistance, we are considering implementing similar programs in other locations.
- To promote early cancer diagnosis, we have been raising awareness in Katlicherra, Hailakandi, and promoting self-referral for screening if someone exhibits symptoms
- In addition, a 30-bed satellite hospital is now being implemented to ensure cancer care is easily accessible to the community.
