A medical journal report from the UK in its last December edition sounded a warning that a large mass of world population would become victims of the fatal disease. This could reach to an alarming level of 33% increase from the existing one! An all-out effort from cross-section of society is required to enfeeble the strength of the wide-spreading tentacles of the vice. Victims may be from a developing country or from a developed country, a caring and benevolent effort can only alleviate the pains and agonies of the sufferers of cancer.
The report has made it clear that cavalier lifestyle and increasing pollution were positively responsible for its awfully growth and spread across the world. Experiences have shown that banning public smoking, chewing tobacco, or even drinking cheap wines will no longer be effective until a thorough public awareness is created. The onus for it must be taken up by all national and international government institutions. Private initiatives must be encouraged because without their participation the mission to alleviate the sufferings of cancer patients for millions across the world would remain incomplete.
The report reveals that the effects of pollutions and hybrid vegetables to the human healths may not be seen to be less responsible for the appalling growth. It is also true that indiscriminate annihilation of the greens and a steady growth of carbon-dioxide in the air are also letting the arms of the scorpions spread more widely day in and day out. Neither they have knowledge of defined territories nor do they have sympathy for the poor, for the old, for the women, or even for the children. They are so merciless that they can debilitate an apparently nice figure within only a few days.
There have been a number of researchers working day and night for further development on the present ways of treating a patient. There is no denying newer developments are coming. A recent study sounded a positive declaration that a counter-productive gene had been found out and they expected almost all kind of tumours could be curable within next ten years. Every human being has been earnestly praying for that Holy day to come sooner.
Coupled with fears, treatment expenses are equally increasing almost everyday.The poor people particularly from developing countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, are said to be unable to afford and even die prematurely. The incurable disease (?) is as much responsible for the premature death of lives as their inability to afford to the increasing expenses for cancer treatment.
With the moving scene across the seven continents, the cancer patients of the developing countries are the worst sufferers. There are many non-profit organizations such as SKMCH & RC which are working to provide state of the art treatment to the sufferers of cancer regardless of their ability to pay. To this humane objective, a large contingent of eminent oncologists has been working hand in hand. Despite their glowing medical career and equally glittering expertise in oncology medicine as well as oncology surgery, be it around head, neck, breast, or brain, a number of oncologists travel from one end of the world to another part and for accomplishing their mission, they are seen taking medical Sabbath, so that during those months they could devote themselves to the alleviation of the sufferings of cancer patients as well as to the elimination of wrong ideas and superstitions regarding the disease.
One such humane figure and expert oncologist is Dr Nigel Sacks who devoted a considerable part of his medical career, whether be it in his native land in Australia or in the UK, to the care of the poor as well as of the wealthy sufferers. He provided generous care for the poor when he travelled to Pakistan and Sri Lanka while he took treatment fees from the rich, and with the money and profits collected from the latter, Nigel Sacks provided his generous care and treatment in his SKMCH & RC to the poor sufferers of cancer in both strife-torn countries.
Such private and noble initiative is required along with the government enterprises. Otherwise, complete elimination of the misconceptions regarding the disease and the alleviation of the sufferers of the patients would remain a distant dream.
