As detecting cancer early often allows for more treatment options, free endoscopy screening helps detect cancers which may have signs and symptoms that can be noticed, but that is not always the case.
According to a release, the hospital headed by Dr. P.S. Rajan, renowned endoscopic surgeon has been keen on creating awareness on 'early detection of intestional cancers'. Following which, a series of free endoscopy camps were held for the general public by the hospital which not only helps in ruling out early cancer symptoms but also provide solutions for food passage and gastric disorders.
The 45th free endoscopy screening camp was recently held by the hospital in which more than fifty people were tested.
Post endoscopy, the public were advised on healthy food habits, life style changes and free consultation with Dr. P.S. Rajan.
Women were also provided with treatment options for gynecology related issues.
