Gurdaspur – In today’s world, cancer is a disease that many fear. However, this fear can be overcome with the right knowledge and timely diagnosis. According to Dr. Alka Srivastava, senior cancer specialist at Abrol Hospital (A Unit of EMC Hospitals), Gurdaspur, cancer is entirely treatable if detected in its early stages. She emphasized that the human body often gives early warning signs—such as sudden weight loss, persistent fatigue, unusual lumps, abnormal bleeding, or wounds that do not heal—but these signs are frequently ignored, leading to advanced and more dangerous stages of the disease.
At Abrol Hospital, state-of-the-art cancer diagnostic and treatment facilities are available, including screening tests such as mammography, Pap smear, PSA test, biopsy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and oncological surgeries. The hospital’s experienced team of doctors provides personalized care and develops comprehensive treatment plans for each patient. The hospital’s mission is to ensure that patients do not need to travel to metros like Delhi or Mumbai for quality cancer care—they can receive it right here in their own district.
Dr. Rishabh Arora, Director of EMC Hospitals, stated that Abrol Hospital has emerged as a vital healthcare center for the people of Gurdaspur. The hospital offers a complete range of cancer treatment services under one roof. He added that a combination of advanced technologies, modern equipment, and specialist doctors ensures the highest quality of care. He emphasized that the earlier cancer is detected, the easier and less complex it is to treat.
Both Dr. Alka Srivastava and Dr. Rishabh Arora urged the public not to ignore any unusual symptoms and to undergo regular health check-ups, especially after the age of 40. Women are advised to get regular mammograms and Pap smear tests, while men should focus on prostate and lung screenings. Families with a history of cancer should remain particularly vigilant.
Abrol Hospital has proven that quality healthcare is no longer confined to major cities. The availability of world-class cancer treatment in Gurdaspur demonstrates that even serious illnesses like cancer can now be fought effectively at the local level. With timely diagnosis, expert care, and advanced technology, the battle against cancer can be won. So don’t be afraid—stay informed, stay alert, and get screened on time.
