Cancer of the neck of womb (cervix) is the most common form of cancer affecting Indian women. Risk of cancer of the cervix for women in India is 2.4% compared to 1.3% for rest of the world. Nearly 80% of this cancer is detected in late stages in India compared to 10 20% in developed countries like USA. The mortality therefore is highest in India. On the positive side, cervical cancer has a long precancerous stage and can be cured 100% if detected in this stage or early stages. Screening and prevention of this cancer is therefore possible. Lions Club of Mormugao is organizing a cervical cancer awareness programme at St. Andrews Church Hall, Vasco da Gama, on 26/9/2010 at 10.30 a.m. The speakers for this programme are Dr. Nimish Pillai, Gynaecologist, MPT Hospital and Dr. Shailesh Kamat, practicing Gynaecologist from Vasco. Public especially ladies are requested to attend and benefit from this awareness programme. (DANIEL F DE SOUZA) PRESIDENT LIONS CLUB OF MORMUGAO Vasco Dtd: 20-09-2010
