VJ Oncology at san antonio breast cancer symposium

Thank you, VJ Oncology, for inviting for the interview in honor of Breast Cancer Hub’s Poster Spotlight Award at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on 13th December 2024, under the category “Addressing Racial Disparities in Breast Cancer Outcome.” Very proud of our team executing the work in Cachar -Sapna Pashi, Ranjita  Singha, Sarita Singha, Sangita Bagdi, Sanalembi Devi. Principal investigator - Dr Lopamudra Das Roy.

Title of the Study: “Door-to-door Breast Cancer Screening in 22,278 populaces from February 2020 to April 2024: Breast Cancer Hub’s Trendsetting Grassroots Sustainable Solutions, overcoming the Disparity, and Challenges in the Rural Remote Villages in Poverty, of Assam, India”

Challenges: The villagers could not financially afford to go to the hospitals, leading them to succumb to faith healers and eventually die. The family avoided taking patients to hospitals as it would be a full-day affair, and they couldn’t miss their daily wage because food was their priority.

Breast Cancer Hub’s pioneering trendsetter sustainable framework saving lives in remote villages in the untapped sectors:  The BCH team goes door-to-door, teaching every member Breast Self-Examination (BSE), providing BSE card in local language, accompanying suspicious cases to hospitals, providing transport, generating villagers’ income certificates and health cards, helping with hospital registration, patient communication with healthcare professionals, providing treatment aid for diagnosis not covered under the government schemes, dropping patients home with follow-ups, counseling, support, taking the same patients back to the hospital on the next appointments, assisting with the comprehensive treatment process, case by case.

San Antonio breast cancer symposium - poster presentation

Very happy to share that we have a second research which is a Case Study, that got accepted at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS); Title: “Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) Case Study in Nadia District, West Bengal—Addressing Breast Cancer Challenges in Villages in India with Grassroots Sustainable Solution”, and was presented on 12th December 2024 by Dr Lopamudra Das Roy, the Principal investigator of the study. A massive shout-out to BCH Nadia Village team, Ratna Basak, Sima Basak, Rimpa Biswas, Sabarna Saraswati, and  Dr. Lopamudra Das Roy, for executing the case study. We are thankful to Akhaya Mohanty for the support. The case highlights the systemic issues in breast cancer care in developing regions, where lack of awareness, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and financial constraints delay or prevent treatment. BCH’s unique, trendsetting efforts are helping save lives in untapped sectors. These efforts underscore the need to revise the guidelines to address these challenges effectively, necessitating policy changes and targeted healthcare strategies to serve vulnerable populations better.

In addition, BCH was awarded the Poster Spotlight Award for another study at the same SABCS conference. Title: Door-to-door Breast Cancer Screening in 22,278 populaces from February 2020 to April 2024: Breast Cancer Hub’s Trendsetting Grassroots Sustainable Solutions, overcoming the Disparity, and Challenges in the Rural Remote Villages in Poverty, of Assam, India.

A wristband and a keyring with combination colors of pink representing breast cancer in women, blue representing breast cancer in men, and purple inclusive of all genders and all cancers along with bookmarks symbolizing different ribbon colors as we fight against all types of Cancers, with the message of togetherness were also given to the community to provide awareness and education.
