Conducts symposia on ‘Thyroid Cancer: Current concepts of management’
Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital commemorated ‘World Head and Neck Cancer Day’ with a symposia on ‘Thyroid Cancer: Current concepts of Management’ at the hospital.
World Head and Neck Cancer Day was introduced in 2014 in the US by International Federation of Head and Neck Oncologic Societies (IFHNOS). The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) supported the effort.
Medical luminaries like Dr Anil D’Cruz, Medical Director, Tata Memorial Hospital; Dr Vijay Haribhakti, HOD, HNRF Hospital; Dr Gustad Daver, Medical Director, HNRF Hospital; and Dr Rahul Modi, Harvard Medical School, participated in the sessions.
Reportedly, noted doctors and oncology students based in Mumbai attended this knowledge feast. Latest guidelines from American Thyroid Association were presented at the symposia.
HNRF Hospital and Reliance Foundation initiated a campaign against oral cancer, as a build-up event, by addressing the issue at grass root level. A free oral cancer detection drive was held at Sir HNRF Hospital and a day long free oral cancer detection programme was held in Koli Wadi, Girgaon. Senior cancer experts were engaged in assessing the risk parameters and educating people on preventive measures.
Reportedly, more than 230 people availed benefits of the oral cancer detection drive and got themselves checked by cancer experts.
