Cancer Prevention & Early Detection

We recommend these key prevention steps:

Avoid tobacco — smoking is the prime cause of lung cancer; avoid cigarettes and all forms of tobacco.

Follow a healthy lifestyle — regular physical activity and moderate exercise can significantly reduce cancer risk.

Get immunized — vaccinate against Hepatitis B and HPV to help prevent liver and cervical cancer.

Know your family history — if cancer runs in your family, consult a doctor and get regular health checkups.

We recommend cancer screening for anyone above 40, those with a family history of cancer, tobacco or alcohol users, and women due for breast or cervical cancer checks. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes. Contact us at +91 84699 22023 to learn about screening in and around Junagadh.
