Women diagnosed with cancer even abandoned at hospitals
Women suffer the most from breast cancer. And, there are several ‘avoidable’ reasons that keep them away from getting diagnosed at an early stage.
Worse so, a few women are even abandoned by their families at government hospitals when they are in critical stages of cancer. All of this calls for a need to generate more awareness about breast cancer.
According to the “Profile of Cancer and Related Factors - Telangana”, released by National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research (NCDIR) of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the leading site of cancer among woman is breast. In the State, around 35 out of every 100 cancer patients has malignant tumour in breast.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
