Cervical Cancer Screening Workshops in Northeast India
Cervical cancer is perhaps the only cancer which if detected in the pre-cancer stage and intervened properly, can be treated with success. But due to the lack of any major effort on public education and in absence of organized cervical screening programmes at the national level, the disease is generally detected at an advance stage in 70 - 95% cases in different centres, when curative treatment is not so successful. One of the major reasons, beside financial constraints, is the unavailability of trained manpower in the field of early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.
The main objective of these Workshops is to provide training in the Methods and Techniques of detecting early lesions of Cervical Cancer and its treatment to in-service clinicians drawn from District Hospitals and Medical Colleges in the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. |
