Cancer prevention and treatment begin with self-care and hope. Cancer is a major group of noncommunicable diseases, creating a substantial burden for communities. Millions of cases occur globally each year and thousands in Iran. Timely diagnosis can make treatment more effective and improve the chances of control and recovery.
The original report cites World Health Organization material stating that approximately 40% of cancers can be prevented and that appropriate care and early medical attention can help treat cancers that cannot be prevented. It also notes that at least half may improve with appropriate diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing attention to concerning symptoms.
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and multiplication of some of the body's cells. Symptoms depend on the location. The report advises prompt medical assessment for these warning signs: persistent unusual constipation, diarrhea or urinary changes; a sore that does not heal; abnormal bleeding or discharge from the vagina, bladder, anus or nipple; a lump in the breast or elsewhere; difficulty swallowing or digesting food; changes in the color or size of a mole or wart; vomiting or coughing blood; prolonged cough or hoarseness; or unexplained loss of appetite or weight.
Since 1369, Solar Hijri, Omid has relied on donations to establish its research and treatment center, specialist hospital and patient residence and to provide social work and practical support. It has become an important part of cancer care in the region. We remain committed to meeting patients' treatment and household needs, a mission that depends on participation from people and institutions throughout society.
