CANCER AWARENESS

Because of the burden, mortality, and propensity for increased occurrence of the disease,
cancer is a significant public health issue in our nation and around the world. Cervical cancer
is the second most common cancer worldwide among all populations and the third most
common type of cancer in women, behind breast and lung cancer. The estimated 493,000
new cases and 273,000 deaths from cervical cancer worldwide occur in poorer countries,
where the burden of the disease is disproportionately high.

One fifth of cervical cancer cases worldwide are found in India, which has one sixth of the
world's population. Because of better medical care and the implementation of nationwide
screening programs, the mortality rate from cervical cancer has decreased over the past 40
years. The primary screening tool for the secondary prevention of cervical cancer is the
Papanicolaou test. It is simple to find precancerous cells. Cervical cancer can be identified,
prevented, and delayed with the use of the Pap test.

While it's generally avoidable, cervical cancer is the second most frequent cause of cancer
mortality among women in India. Five percent of cervical cancer cases worldwide occur in
India. There is a clear need for effective awareness programs due to the inadequate
awareness and health seeking practices in many developing nations. We have been able to
improve quality of life with advances in cancer technologies, but it is still unclear if survival
has increased. In India, there are several causes for late presentation, but one of the main
ones is a lack of understanding about and lax attitude toward safe health procedures.
Women are less likely to be detected than men.

One strategy for lowering cervical cancer-related morbidity and mortality is early
identification. Although it is in its infancy, efforts are being made to improve the attitudes,
knowledge, and safe practices of Indian schoolteachers with regard to cervical cancer. This
study aims to assess the level of knowledge of cervical cancer risk factors and preventative
measures among college professors in various Indian states, as well as the effects of
awareness campaigns on changes in the adoption of preventative measures and early
detection methods.

A significant global public health issue is oral cancer. Together, oral and pharyngeal
malignancies rank as the sixth most prevalent malignancy in the world. Squamous cell
carcinomas make up around 90% of oral cancer cases.The main risk factors for oral cancer
are smoking, drinking alcohol, using smokeless tobacco products, and HPV infections, with
approximately 80% attributable risk to both substances.

The survival rate for oral cancer is rather low (around 50%). But because the mouth is so
easily accessible for a professional or self-examination, earlier diagnosis significantly
improves a patient's chances of survival. Most people in the population have oral cancer.
Furthermore, if people are aware of the risk factors they must reduce or eliminate, the
majority of oral malignancies can be avoided. There hasn't been a study on oral cancer
awareness and knowledge in Portugal.

We are aware that leading a healthy lifestyle can prevent 4 out of every 10 cases of cancer.
One of the best strategies to improve the likelihood of surviving cancer is to diagnose it early.
Early cancer detection can boost survival rates, lessen the severity of therapy, and improve
quality of life for cancer patients. Therefore, we may assert that the "can" in cancer refers to
our ability to combat disease. The Cancer Society's main objectives are to prevent cancer
from occurring and to detect it early. It's time to end cancer awareness.
