According to World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer is the top cancer in women worldwide and is increasing particularly in developing countries where the majority of cases are diagnosed in late stages. However with early detection and treatment, breast cancer can be cured and managed.

‘Can-Sur-Vive’, a CSR effort aimed at reinstating the lost zeal while providing the survivor with emotional, psychological and societal wellbeing is a project of The Cancer Research Foundation of Sri Lanka.

Observing International Cancer Day in the month of February, Can-Sur-Vive, in collaboration with Sri Lanka’s most accredited multi-specialty hospital, Lanka Hospitals will conduct the second ‘Can-Sur-Vive’ CSR program on 14 February from 8 a.m. onwards at the Lanka Hospitals 10th floor auditorium.

The workshop also aims to actively educate survivors of breast cancer on medical, physical, financial, spiritual and other related issues, pertaining directly to a cancer survivor’s well-being while empowering the survivors’ and family members’ confidence.

The workshop will be enriched with lectures by consultants, including well-known clinicians, psychologist, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, sociologists, while financial advisors and clergymen will discuss the main issues and challenges faced by the survivors. Although the ‘survivor’ is often used to mean someone who has finished active treatment, ‘CAN-SUR-VIVE’ program intends to invite all newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who are presently on treatment too.
