Meghalaya to have mass breast cancer screening

Meghalaya will be the first state in India to have mass screening programmes in all its districts to detect breast, oral and cervix cancer among women, says an NGO working for cancer detection.

Roko Cancer Charitable Trust, which has embarked on a Private-Public Partnership (PPP) mode project with Meghalya government to provide and run fully-equipped mobile breast detection units, said the entire state will be covered by mass screening programme by 2013.
