Colorectal Cancer is now plaguing our country! Who are these people we call Ostomates? “The truth shall set us free”, said Lolly Acosta during her opening statement at the forum. In furtherance of its mission, the Philippine Cancer Society and Balitaan Sa Aloha Hotel in a joint project, launched a quad media, i.e., television, radio, print and the internet, campaign to advocate for the eradication of Colorectal cancer in the country on October 3, 2012, in celebration of the World Ostomy Day on October 6, 2012.
“Statistics shows that Colorectal
Cancer is the third leading cancer in the Philippines today. Consequently,
pursuant to the mission of the Philippine Cancer Society, there is a need for
the society to disseminate information concerning the disease to lessen if not
totally eradicate all kinds of cancer in our country”, said Dra. Rachel Rosario
of the Philippine Cancer Society, the lead convenor of the forum at Balitaan sa
Aloha Hotel on October 3, 2012.
“Colorectal Cancer is one of the
most common cancer in the world today and the number of those suffering from
the disease is growing, said Dr. Ramy Roxas, President of the Philippine
Society of Colorectal Surgeons and the Asean Society of Colorectal Surgeons. “Data
gathered by the Philippine Cancer Society shows that the survival rate of those
suffering from the said illness in our country is only forty percent (40%),
while those in the United States is more than 60%”,
said Dr. Roxas. He further added that, “the disease can be eliminated if
earlier detected and curable”.
And what are the remedies? Hear it from them personally. Join us in our Talakayan at Balitaan sa
Aloha:
