PreCanCheck (Pre Cancerous Lesions Checkup) is an initiative of MedIndia Hospitals, to identify and treat pre-cancerous lesions before they erupt as cancer.
As per the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) data, digestive cancers, namely, Esophagus, mouth, stomach and Liver cancers are the topmost 4 out of 7 cancers which are prevalent in India with the highest incidence. Pre-cancerous lesions can be identified through Blood tests, Ultra Sound Scan, Endoscopy, Colonoscopy and Tumour markers such as AFP, CEA and CA 19-9 etc. It is possible for Gastroenterologists to identify pre-cancerous lesions and curb cancers before it erupts.
When the patients become symptomatic to approach a doctor, unfortunately, the cancer is in an advanced stage and curative treatment is difficult. The reason is most of the cancers, particularly those affecting the G.I. Tract, remain silent till it erupts like a volcano. Screening of the high risk population and early detection of the cancers is the only solution for these life threatening problems
