Islamabad, October 31, 2022

Begum Samina Arif Alvi has urged women to conduct regular self-examination to detect breast cancer in early stages and self-diagnosis which hardly takes five minutes every month for the early detection of breast cancer. She added that 50% of the breast cancer patients die due to late diagnosis, therefore, early detection of breast cancer was essential to diagnose and treat it properly. Begum Samina Arif Alvi expressed these views while addressing a breast cancer awareness session titled "LET'S BEAT CANCER" organized by ASC Group and Pakistan Cables at Karachi, today. Emphasizing on the role of differently abled persons, she said that persons with disabilities needed our special attention and we all together should take care of them. She further said that we should follow inclusive approach towards persons with disabilities and take measures for making them active members of the society. Addressing the occasion, Begum Samina Arif Alvi said that approximately 90 thousand cases of breast cancer per year were reported in Pakistan. She said that she had been working for this cause for the last few years which yielded very positive results. She said that the centers in Pakistan had been set up that offered free memography. Begum Alvi appreciated Pakistan Cables, the organisers of the breast cancer awareness session and also lauded the role of media in promoting the message of awareness on breast cancer, adding that media provided valuable support in highlighting the breast cancer awareness activities throughout the country. The session was attended by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, prominent film maker and activist, Dr. Naila Zahid oncologist Liaqat National Hospital and notables belonging to different walks of life who shared their motivational stories with the audience, doctors and medical students. The panel of doctors discussed the precautionary measures, self-examination and diagnosis of breast cancer at early stages. The panel of Doctors including Dr. Sadia and Dr. Naila urged the women to conduct regular self-examination. Later, survivors of breast cancer also shared their stories and how they managed to win the battle against breast cancer
