KARACHI: The month of October, which is now revered as pinktober due to it being declared as the month of Breast Cancer Awareness. To commemorate with this year’s Pinktober, The Journey Ladies Club in collaboration with Women’s League Pakistan, Door to Life Welfare Organization and Biz Today International hosted a workshop on ‘Breast Cancer’ on 31st October 2021 at Saima Luxury Homes, Karachi.
At this workshop leading experts were invited to discuss about creating awareness for ‘Breast Cancer’, its symptoms and its prevention. Experts’ panel at the workshop unanimously resolved that; “early detection is the Best Prevention for Breast Cancer”.
The experts panel further noted that “Early detection can only arise when there is awareness on Breast Cancer. Due to lack of awareness, Breast Cancer is rising rapidly and last year more than 90,000 cases of Breast Cancer were reported”.
Host Sara Khurram shared her views by saying that; “only way to reduce this massive number is to create more and more awareness among the masses and early detection of breast cancer is the best prevention. With early detection survival rates is 98%, we must focus on early detection”.
