Gurugram cancer day-care center treats 50 patients in four months

The cancer day-care center at Gurugram's Civil Hospital in Sector-10 has treated 50 patients over the past four months, providing free chemotherapy and medications. Most patients are women with breast and ovarian cancer, predominantly in stages three and four. The health department offers free medicines alongside chemotherapy, easing financial burdens on patients who previously faced difficulties without a local facility. Health officials are raising awareness about early detection, urging people to seek medical checks for unusual lumps, persistent pain, or weight loss. Dr. Sumedha, center in-charge, confirmed regular monitoring of patients since April.
