In her address to the audience,
Dr. Parveen Kaur explained the reasons, symptoms, risks, preventive measures
regarding breast cancer. She said it can be detected in early stages by self
awareness and clinical examination. Women don’t disclose this issue due to
fear, embarrassment, lack of awareness or knowledge and habit of forgetfulness.
But one should not avoid any alarming change in our body and should consult
doctor as soon as possible. Mammograms can be done for early detection of
breast cancer but biopsy gives confirmatory results for the same. Surgery, Radiation, Chemotherapy, Hormonal
therapy, Immunotherapy could be performed on the patients depending upon
various stages of cancer. She cleared queries of the audience very patiently
and few discussed their personal issues
also. On the eve Principal Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay Sareen said that proper
