At Puranjay Health & Education Development Foundation, we are deeply committed to the mission of helping people fight cancer through awareness, prevention, early detection, patient support, and survivor empowerment. Cancer not only affects the body but also challenges families emotionally, socially, and financially. Through this initiative, we aim to educate, support, and inspire hope in the journey against cancer.

🔹 What is Cancer?

Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, often spreading to other parts of the body. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells ignore the body’s signals to stop dividing, leading to the formation of tumors and, in some cases, affecting vital organs.

🔹 Signs and Symptoms

• Unexplained lumps or swelling

• Persistent cough or difficulty breathing

• Sudden weight loss without reason

• Abnormal bleeding or discharge

• Fatigue and weakness that doesn’t improve with rest

• Changes in skin, moles, or unusual sores

Early identification of these symptoms can save lives by allowing timely diagnosis and treatment.

🔹 Causes and Risk Factors

• Genetic predisposition (family history of cancer)

• Unhealthy lifestyle habits (smoking, alcohol, poor diet)

• Exposure to harmful chemicals and radiation

• Obesity and lack of physical activity

• Infections and weak immunity

• Increasing age

🔹 Preventing Cancer

• Quit smoking and reduce alcohol consumption

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

• Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight

• Get vaccinated against cancer-related infections (like HPV, Hepatitis B)

• Undergo regular screenings and health check-ups

• Avoid exposure to harmful chemicals and pollutants

🔹 Managing and Treating Cancer

Treatment depends on the type, stage, and severity of cancer. Common treatments include:

• Surgery – Removing tumors or affected areas

• Chemotherapy – Using drugs to kill cancer cells

• Radiation Therapy – Targeted radiation to destroy cancer cells

• Immunotherapy – Boosting the body’s immune system to fight cancer

• Palliative Care – Providing comfort, pain management, and emotional support

Our foundation also provides guidance and connects patients with trusted hospitals and doctors for effective treatment.

🔹 Key Cancer Statistics

• Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide.

• Millions of new cancer cases are diagnosed every year.

• Early detection can increase survival rates by more than 50%.

• Lifestyle changes and preventive measures can reduce cancer risk significantly.
