أكتوبر :شهر التوعية بالسرطان
أكتوبر هو شهر التوعية بمرض سرطان الثدي ،في شتى أنحاء
العالم ،وتظهر اإلحصائيات أن
سرطان الثدي هو أكثر أمراض
السرطان شيوعا في سمطنة عمان. ولكن تعزيز التوعية الشعبية بكافة
أنواع السرطان وتثقيف المجتمع عن
العالمات واألعراض المبكرة ألمراض السرطان المختمفة هي إحدى
األهداف الرئيسية لمجمعية األهمية
لمكافحة السرطان.
وشعارنا هو "الفحص المنتظم
32أكتىتز 3122
والتشخيص المبكر ينقذ حياة األفراد"

التوعية بمرض السرطان مثل مبادرة
وهذا هو السبب الذي يجعل مبادرات "القوة في يديك" في غاية األهمية.
ونحن نحتاج أيضا إلى فعل كل ما
بوسعنا لمحيمولة دون حدوث مرض
السرطان قدر اإلمكان.
