World Cancer Day - Cancer Awareness Quiz Contest

​

Fourth of February is World Cancer Day. The very mention of “cancer” triggers a degree of unexplained fear than even words such as “renal failure”, “heart attack”, or even “stroke” do not. We know that any of these conditions can kill a person. However, studies and research show that early diagnosis of a disease can save lives, especially cancer. Breast, cervical, oral, ovarian, lung, colon, endometrial cancers are some types of cancers that most often affect women. Knowing about these diseases can certainly save a life.

We, at IndusLadies, are aiming to conduct this quiz to increase awareness of cancer symptoms among women, encourage being pro-active, and seek help immediately. This quiz also aims in showing support to World Cancer Day. IndusLadies will donate Rs.5/- for each participant taking up the quiz. The donations will go to the Indian Cancer Society.

Cancer Awareness Quiz Contest will end on February 4, 2013. Hurry up with your entries!

• E-mail your answers to contest@indusladies.com with the subject “Cancer Awareness Quiz Contest - Answers”.
  
• Also remember to mention your IL user id when you send in the entries.
• Acknowledge your participation by posting in this thread as mail sent.
  

A big shout to all the IL members – do participate in large numbers to make this cause a huge success!
