CPAA is a 54-year-old Non-Government Organization with the goal to support socio-economically underprivileged cancer patients working towards the “Total Management of Cancer”. Cancer though life threatening is today curable if it is caught early and adequate treatment is provided. However, patients of modest means can only look on helplessly unless they receive a substantial contribution.
CPAA works closely with the medical fraternity, helping patients in the following ways: Medical and Financial Aid to cancer patients ensuring treatment to all patients; and provide food grains and diet supplements. Rehabilitation of cancer survivors through vocational training and employment at the CPAA Cancer Rehabilitation Center. Cancer Awareness and Prevention with interactive sessions highlighting association with lifestyle like tobacco habits, alcohol, obesity with cancer. CPAA’s Zero cervical cancer programme includes prevention with HPV Vaccination and early detection through HPV testing. Early Detection of cancers through screening camps for all sectors of the society including schools, colleges, slums, corporate, etc. Cancer Research for identification of biomarkers for cancer diagnosis/ prognosis/ response to treatment. The primary mission of CPAA is to meet the needs of poor cancer patients who do not have access nor can afford cancer treatment.
