Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) is a 40 year old NGO working towards the “Total Management of Cancer” as a disease, which includes:

-Raising awareness through lectures
-Early detection through screening
-Covering the cost of treatment through insurance
-Providing total care for cancer patients
-Rehabilitating cancer patients and their family members

As part of our stated philosophy of "Total Management of Cancer", we have been conducting an awareness programme by addressing audiences at workplaces like banks, mills, factories, and offices and also at residential complexes, schools and colleges.

The aim is:
• To present a realistic picture about cancer, its causes and treatment.
• To encourage prevention wherever possible.
• To remove stigma and help integrate cancer patients into a normal life with families.

This Awareness Programmes has reached 300,000 people in schools, colleges, offices, factories, residential locations and has successfully helped to remove the fears, myths and misapprehensions, create awareness of faulty life styles and causative factors, promote the concept of periodic screening which means early detection and therefore cure. Our emphasis is on Oral Cancers, Cancer of the Uterine Cervix and Breast Cancer... these being the most common cancers in our country and luckily, cancers that can be detected early enough to effect improved cure rates.
