Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, accounting for more than 1 in 10 new cancer diagnoses each year. It is the second most common cause of death from cancer among women in the world. Breast cancer evolves silently, and most disease is discovered on routine screening.

But the first step to recovery is to talk to about it. Most women hide their pain & suffering as it’s still a taboo in our country. On Breast Cancer Awareness Month, MGM Cancer Institute organised a special event, Walk in Pink @ Namma Chennai on October 30, 2022. This Walkathon was an initiative to promote breast cancer awareness and highlight the need for the right treatment at the right time. Students from various colleges and MGM staffs took a walk to Anna Nagar Tower Park spreading the message. The event was graced by Thiru MK Mohan, MLA, Anna Nagar, Chennai and Ms. Revathi, Actress, Film Director & Social Worker. Breast cancer survivors also shared stories and highlighted the need of early diagnosis.

“Cancer is so limited…It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. It cannot corrode faith or eat away peace.”

Cancer is a journey, but you walk the road alone. There are many places to stop along the way and get nourishment – you just have to be willing to take it.

As the incidents of cancer grows at an alarming pace, the hope and courage must grow faster. MGM Healthcare is ready provide the freedom from the fear of pain & despair.

The MGM Cancer Institute is founded on the altruistic vision that any patient diagnosed with cancer has to receive quality continuing care.

With an aim to promote a healthy lifestyle and creating awareness on cancer among the masses, MGM Cancer Institute along with TI India on Sunday, December 18,2022, organized ‘Ride for a Cause – The Cyclathon’ in Chennai. It commenced from TI Cycles of India Ambattur OT and concluded at MGM Cancer Institute, Nelson Manickam Road, Aminjikarai.

Cycling is a healthy, low-impact exercise that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from young children to older adults. Riding to work or the shops is one of the most time-efficient ways to combine regular exercise with your everyday routine.

MGM Healthcare, Chennai is all set to launch its exclusive Institute for Cancer at the earliest in the city. Through this initiative we want to eradicate the fear prevalent among the people about Cancer. We want the patients to go through the journey of cancer in a smooth relaxed way.

MGM Healthcare cherishes the success in cancer care and celebrates the real-life courageous heroes who battle this disease. We are happy to play a role in this journey. Our celebration of this courage will continue every month where we will share experiences and learn from survivors, provide unique services in trying to enhance their lives even more and promote healthy living in every possible way. Here is a highlight of the event!

Cancer is a broad term. It describes the disease that results when cellular changes cause the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Some types of cancer cause rapid cell growth, while others cause cells to grow and divide at a slower rate. There are many causes of cancer, and some are preventable.

People who seek cancer care hit barriers at every turn. Income, education, geographical location, and discrimination based on ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, and lifestyle are just a few of the factors that can negatively affect care.

“Let us add more meaning to World Cancer Day by creating more awareness about it…. Let us end the fear of cancer from all our lives!!!!”
