National Cancer Awareness Day: How JS Global Hospital Leads the Fight
Cancer Awareness Day
Every year on November 7, we observe National Cancer Awareness Day — an important reminder of the lives impacted by cancer, and a call to action for increased awareness, early detection and compassionate care. At JS Global Hospital, we honour this day by reaffirming our commitment to patients and their families in Chennai and beyond.
Why Cancer Awareness Day Matters
Cancer remains one of the leading health challenges globally and in India. While advances in treatment are promising, awareness and early screening continue to be among the most powerful tools we possess. Cancer Awareness Day is more than a date on the calendar — it’s a chance to educate, to break stigma, and to save lives through timely diagnosis.
By raising awareness about risk factors, symptoms, prevention strategies and the importance of regular screening, we help reduce delays in diagnosis. Early detection often means more treatment options, better prognosis, and higher survival rates.

What You Can Do This November 7
As part of Cancer Awareness Day, we encourage everyone to take proactive steps:
- Get Screened: Speak to your doctor about routine checks — mammography, PAP smears, colonoscopy, or other evidence-based screening tests based on age and risk factors.
- Know the Signs: Persistent lumps, unexplained weight loss, unusual bleeding or persistent cough are signals you should not delay investigating.
- Adopt a Healthier Lifestyle: Quit tobacco, limit alcohol, maintain healthy weight, stay active and follow a balanced diet — all of which reduce cancer risks.
- Spread the Word: Talk to your family, friends and community. Share information about Cancer Awareness Day and help others understand why early detection matters.
