Cancer

Cancer Council Nepal (CCN) is a registered charitable non-governmental organization (NGO) working towards the Total Management of Cancer as a disease, which includes: * Spreading awareness on the dangers inherent in accepted social practices such as smoking tobacco, early marriage, multiple pregnancies, etc, which are responsible for approximately 80% of cancers in Nepal. * Initiating steps for the early detection of cancer since treatment at this stage leads to a cure in a majority of cases. * To provide complete assistance to cancer patients beyond that given by the medical profession, that is, taking a holistic approach, not attacking the malignancy in isolation.
