India Launches Nationwide Early Head & Neck Cancer Detection Drive
India is starting a big campaign to help people find head and neck cancer early.
This is important because many people in India don't go to the doctor until the cancer is very advanced.
The campaign is being launched on World Head & Neck Cancer Day in Mumbai by the Head & Neck Cancer Institute of India.
Dr. Sultan A. Pradhan is leading the effort.
He is talking about how serious head and neck cancer is in India and why it's important to catch it early.
The campaign wants to teach people to recognize symptoms early and go to the doctor right away.
The institute is also making new partnerships to help spread the word and make it easier for people to get screened.
