VJ Oncology at san antonio breast cancer symposium

Thank you, VJ Oncology, for inviting for the interview in honor of Breast Cancer Hub’s Poster Spotlight Award at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on 13th December 2024, under the category “Addressing Racial Disparities in Breast Cancer Outcome.” Very proud of our team executing the work in Cachar -Sapna Pashi, Ranjita  Singha, Sarita Singha, Sangita Bagdi, Sanalembi Devi. Principal investigator - Dr Lopamudra Das Roy.

Title of the Study: “Door-to-door Breast Cancer Screening in 22,278 populaces from February 2020 to April 2024: Breast Cancer Hub’s Trendsetting Grassroots Sustainable Solutions, overcoming the Disparity, and Challenges in the Rural Remote Villages in Poverty, of Assam, India”

Challenges: The villagers could not financially afford to go to the hospitals, leading them to succumb to faith healers and eventually die. The family avoided taking patients to hospitals as it would be a full-day affair, and they couldn’t miss their daily wage because food was their priority.

Breast Cancer Hub’s pioneering trendsetter sustainable framework saving lives in remote villages in the untapped sectors:  The BCH team goes door-to-door, teaching every member Breast Self-Examination (BSE), providing BSE card in local language, accompanying suspicious cases to hospitals, providing transport, generating villagers’ income certificates and health cards, helping with hospital registration, patient communication with healthcare professionals, providing treatment aid for diagnosis not covered under the government schemes, dropping patients home with follow-ups, counseling, support, taking the same patients back to the hospital on the next appointments, assisting with the comprehensive treatment process, case by case.

100% of BCH services are Free of cost and 100% of Donations are driven towards the Mission (Donor’s bucket of choice).
