A Continuing Medical Education (CME) program was successfully organized today at the Kalyan Singh Super Speciality Cancer Institute, Lucknow, as part of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month observance. The program was chaired by the Director of the institute, Prof. M.L.B. Bhatt.

Bhatt, Director of the Institute, stated, “Awareness is the most effective weapon against cancer.” He further added that the institute’s mission is not limited to the treatment of diseases but also extends to spreading awareness and promoting prevention across society.

Other survivors — Jahanvi Kalyani, Sunita Vaishya, Rajni Devi, and Meena Kumari — also shared how positive thinking, family support, and medical guidance helped them overcome cancer.
