CANCER AWARENESS AND SYMPTOM BASED EARLY DETECTION MASS CAMPAIGN
STATE OF PUNJAB
The State of Punjab has been in focus because of increasing rate of cancer. The media, both print
and electronic, have created an impression that Punjab, especially the cotton belt of Malwa
Region of the State has become cancer bowl of the State.
Studies on various aspects of cancer have been conducted by various academic bodies including
Punjab Agricultural University Ludhiana, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and
Research (PGIMER) Chandigarh, Department of Health & Family Welfare, Punjab and by many
NGOs.
Despite an increasing trend of cancer in the State, it has not been scientifically established as to
whether the incidence of cancer in Punjab is higher or not, as compared to the rest of the country.
It has, however, been well established that cancer is more common in females, who suffer on
account of very high incidence of breast and cervical cancer.
Chief Minister’s Cancer Relief Fund was established with an initial outlay of just Rs. 20.00 crore
which needs to be raised to the tune of more than two and a half times in the next budget.
ROKO Cancer, an NGO working in the State since 2005-06, has conducted 18,628
mammography’s amongst 1, 20, 248 women and has identified 1,175 suspected cases. For the last
two years State has incurred an annual expenditure of Rs. 30.00 lakhs on this project.
In light of the facts stated above, the State Health Department has planned to carry out a mass
awareness campaign and early detection of cancer based on warning signs and symptoms, by door
to door visits. That means covering the total population of more than 2.77 crore spread over an
area of 50,362 sq. km residing in more than 54 lakh households, 12,603 villages and 217 census
towns. This exercise will help not only in locating and detecting the cancer patients but shall also
help in symptom based early detection of cancer in suspect populace. The data so generated help
detect any regional differences on one hand while on the other it shall also divulge the mortality
due to cancer.

In order to seek the opinion of the experts and academia on the issues stated above and to
ascertain the technical feasibility of visiting the whole population for awareness and symptom
based early detection of cancer, a State Level Meeting was held with experts from Medical
Colleges in the State of Punjab and that from PGIMER Chandigarh.
All experts were of the opinion that such an exercise was technically feasible and with adequate
training it could be carried out by the Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs), Multipurpose Health
Workers (MPHWs Male) and Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs). In accordance with
the advice tendered by the experts, it was decided that in addition to the standard World Health
Organization (WHO) format of warning signs and risk factors, some more questions on both of
these aspects need to be added so as to cover majority of the cancers and the risk factors, so as to
make the Awareness and Symptom Based Early Detection process broad based.

The State of Punjab is experiencing a rising burden of cancer as one amongst the Non-
Communicable Diseases. Cancer is emerging as one of the major health concerns of the public in
general and the State in particular. The population of State in the age group of 35-65 is falling
prey to this dreaded disease. As such cancer is leading to considerable loss in potentially
productive years of life. Economic and Social cost implications of cancer to the society are
enormous and run into crores of rupees that include direct costs to the families of the persons with
illness and indirect costs to the society, due to reduced productivity.
Clinical services, too, need to be more adequately equipped so as to provide the required level of
care for the disease through Health-Care Delivery System at Primary and at the Secondary level as
well. Recent times have seen an increase in the incidence of cancer all over. Higher incidence of
cancer is primarily attributed to Urbanization, Industrialization, Lifestyle Changes, Population
Growth, Increased Life Span (in turn leading to an increase in the elderly population) and
environmental factors like Pesticides, Insecticides, Chemicals and Heavy Metals etc. In India, the
life expectancy at birth has steadily risen from 32.1 years in 1951 to 64 years in 2006, indicating a
shift in the demographic profile. In the State of Punjab life expectancy at birth was 68.6 years for
Female while for Males it was lower by about two years and stood at 66.4 years during 1992-
1996. It is estimated that life expectancy of the Indian Population will increase to 70 years by
2021–25. This will cause a paradigm shift in the disease pattern from Communicable Diseases to
Non-Communicable Diseases like Cancer, Diabetes and Hypertension.
Around two-thirds of the cancer patients approach and curative facilities at a time when the
disease has already reached an advanced stage. Due to this the survival of cancer patients is
affected adversely.
World
Cancer in all forms is responsible for about 12% of deaths globally. In developed countries cancer
is the second leading cause of death, next only to cardiovascular diseases (accounting for 21% of
deaths). In the developing countries, cancer is the third most common cause of death and accounts
for 9.5% of all deaths.

Cancer prevalence in India is estimated to be around 2.0 to 2.5 million, with over 7-8 lakh new
cases detected every year. More than 70% of the cases report for diagnostic and treatment services
in the advanced stages of the disease, leading to a poor survival and high mortality rate.
New cancer cases per year : 7-8 lacs.
Cancer deaths per year : 4-5 lacs.
Cancer prevalence : 22-24 lacs.
Cancer Incidence:
Among males : 46-122 per 100,000 populations
Among females : 57-135 per 100,000 populations
(ICMR – 1999)
Expectations by 2025:
New cancer cases per year : 12-15 lacs.
Cancer prevalence : 25-30 lacs
3.4 % of all deaths in India are due to cancer
7 -8 lakh new cases are detected annually

No. of Cancer Cases as per Cancer Survey 2009, Punjab
Cancer Awareness & Symptom Based Early Detection State Wide Campaign Project Proposal
State Health Systems Resource Centre, Punjab Page 8
There are an estimated 20,000-25,000 cancer cases in Punjab. The cost implications of cancer to
the society are enormous and run into hundreds of crores of rupees that include direct costs to the
families of the people with illness, and indirect costs to the society, due to reduced productivity.
Major risk factors for these cases are, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption &
tobacco use, excessive use of insecticides, pesticides fertilizers, heavy metals, which are
modifiable. Majority of cancers can be prevented and treated if diagnosed at an early stage. Health
promotion and prevention of cancer is yet to be adequately addressed in the state health system.
Presently, clinical services, too, are not adequately equipped to provide the required level of care
for the disease in primary and secondary health-care settings and even the tertiary care set up is
not providing the state of the art services in the field of cancer.
Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Punjab, with the cooperation of
Department of Medical Education and Research has envisaged to launch the State Wide Door To
Door Campaign of Awareness and Symptom Based Early Detection of Cancer with an aim of
providing health care to the patients
State has already initiated some of the activities for prevention and control of cancer through a
cancer cell at the level of Directorate and financial help to the cancer patients through Mukh
Mantri Cancer Rahat Kosh. Yet the level of awareness amongst the public is very low and there
are many misgivings on this front. Public in general rather than having been given the requisite
awareness on the early warning signs so as to generate willingness to reach the doctor for early
detection, is flooded with the figures of cancer which are 50-100 times exaggerated.
Cancer Awareness Campaign aims at integration of cancer interventions within the NRHM
framework for optimization of scarce resources and provision of seamless services to the patients
as also for ensuring long term sustainability of interventions. The institutionalization of cancer at
district level within the District Health System, sharing administrative and financial structure of
NRHM becomes a crucial programme strategy for cancer control.
The Civil Surgeons at District level will ensure implementation and supervision of the
programme activities related to Cancer awareness, health promotion, symptom based
early diagnosis, treatment and referral.
They shall further facilitate partnership with laboratories and health institutions for
early diagnosis and treatment in the private sector.
Cancer Awareness & Symptom Based Early Detection State Wide Campaign Project Proposal
State Health Systems Resource Centre, Punjab Page 9
Simultaneously, efforts will be made to create a wider knowledge base in the
community for effective prevention, detection, referrals and treatment strategies
through convergence by way of the mass awareness door to door campaign with the
help of ASHAs, ASHA Facilitators, ANMs, supervised and guided by the LHVs,
Health Supervisors, BEEs and the Medical Officers in Rural areas.
In urban areas the task shall be accomplished by the Nursing students and faculty of
the Nursing Institutions supported by the Medical Officers.
Cancer Awareness & Symptom Based Early Detection State Wide Campaign Project Proposal
State Health Systems Resource Centre, Punjab Page 10
The proposed exercise of door to door visits by more than 40,000 field workers is to be
undertaken during the state wide mass awareness campaign the first and unique of its own kind
not only in the country but also in whole of the world, with the following objectives:
1. To carry out a mass awareness campaign about cancer, its warning signs with a focus on the
importance of early diagnosis in treatment of cancer, by home visits.
2. To identify individuals showing the warning signs/symptoms rising suspicion of cancer.
3. To locate and find the Number of existing cases of cancer already diagnosed so as to
identify the needs to strengthen preventive, treatment and palliative care facilities of cancer
in Punjab.
4. Capacity building amongst the Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), ASHA
Facilitators, Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs), Multipurpose Health Workers
(MPHWs Male), the Nursing Students, Medical and Para Medical manpower.
Quality Assurance: it shall be seen that at the levels whether training, identification, diagnosis
and treatment of the patients shall be to the best of our resources.
AIMS & OBJECTS
Cancer Awareness & Symptom Based Early Detection State Wide Campaign Project Proposal
State Health Systems Resource Centre, Punjab Page 11
The vast exercise is to be undertaken by way of door to door visits by the ASHA, ASHA
Facilitator & MPHW (F&M) in the rural areas and in the urban areas, the same shall be carried
out by the students of Nursing Institutes. The main Goals are:
1. Generation of awareness about cancer amongst the masses.
2. Identification of the existing patients suffering from cancer.
3. Assortments of those cancer cases who have received any financial help from any agency
and those who have been left out.
4. Proportion of the number of cancer patients in the State of Punjab with that in the rest of the
country.
5. Identification of persons depicting the warning signs.
6. Detection of early cases of cancer on the basis of symptoms and their medical examination
and medical aid to them.
7. Diagnose of the cause of the symptoms and medical aid to the patients who don’t turn out to
be the cancer patients.
8. Enhancement of the capacity of the field workers ASHAs, ASHA Facilitators, ANMs,
LHVs, Supervisors, IEC staff and the Medical Staff.
9. Assessment of the regional difference in the occurrence of cancer cases in the three regions
of Punjab i.e. Malwa, Majha and Doaba.
10. Mortality Burden due to cancer in the last five years in the State.
11. Age group wise distribution of cancer cases and assessment of the impact of the disease on
the economy of the state and the future generations and development of linkage as the
campaign with the cancer registry and cancer atlas project Punjab.
12. Assessment of Gender variations in incidence of Cancer.
13. Increased awareness about Mukh Mantri Cancer Rahat Kosh and better utilization of the
Kosh.
GOALS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Cancer Awareness & Symptom Based Early Detection State Wide Campaign Project Proposal
State Health Systems Resource Centre, Punjab Page 12
The idea for carrying out the present activity was generated by the general impression about the
numbers suffering from cancer, the lack of awareness amongst the public in general, the huge
difference in the projected figures given by the academic studies done by various academic bodies
including PGIMER, Chandigarh and the repeated survey by the Directorate of Health and Family
Welfare, Punjab. The first step taken by the department was to involve ASHA in the care of
cancer patients and as such the proposal for incentive to ASHA has been approved by the
Government of India. The next was to assess the view point of the experts about cancer awareness
and its early detection. Whole of the present exercise has been conceptualized and planned after a
meeting of the experts and administrators and the same has been based on their opinion. As such
the state wide awareness campaign by door to door visits is to be carried out.
A core committee comprising of experts from various medical institutes of repute has been
constituted in order to accomplish the following tasks:
To design the proformas
To address the issues concerned with awareness campaign
To prepare the list of warning signs and symptoms
To design the training methodology
Preparation of training schedule
Working out of training curriculum
To formulate the training Pyramid
To chalk out the plan for the awareness campaign
Data capturing, consolidation and analysis

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE CAMPAIGN
A. AWARENESS GENERATION
Cancer Awareness & Symptom Based Early Detection State Wide Campaign Project Proposal
State Health Systems Resource Centre, Punjab Page 14
The Chowkidars with Revenue Department shall also make announcements in respective
villages.
The RMOS, Ayurvedic MOs and HMOs others shall also generate awareness about the
campaign and its need.
Press Conferences & News in Electronic Media shall also be a part of Awareness
Generation Programme.
Posters/ Hand Bills/ Booklets/ Banners shall be prepared.
The campaign shall be conducted by the ASHA, ASHA Facilitator, ANMs, MPW (M&F) in
the rural areas. In the urban and semi urban areas the same shall be done by the students of
various Nursing Institutions like that of ANM, GNM, B. Sc., and M.Sc. Nursing.
There are 16,800 ASHAs, 900 ASHA Facilitators, 6,200 ANMs /MPW (M&F) already
working in the field of Health Care Delivery System. In addition, more than 1,000 Trained
Dais etc. working with the department are also available. As such, this manpower shall
conduct the campaign in the rural area.
As per Census 2011, Rural Population of Punjab is 1, 73, 16, 800 and by making an
allowance for increase, it is likely to be around 1.76 lakh. Hence, out of the 25,000 field
workers, who shall be trained for carrying out this task in Rural Areas, even if 10% drop
out, we shall have 22,500 trained manpower and each one shall have to enlist 800
individuals comprising about 160 families.
Approximate time to be taken for door to door campaign proper:
In general, it is a task of one week @ 25 families a day.
B. WHO WILL CARRY OUT THE DOOR TO DOOR CAMPAIGN?

However, even if 10 families are visited daily, the whole task can be accomplished over a
period of 16 days.
Taking exigencies into account the work in Rural Areas is likely be over within three
weeks.
Consolidation and data transfer to various levels including State Headquarters is likely to
be completed in about two weeks’ time and by any means the whole exercise of data
capturing and transfer shall take 6 weeks at the most.
Shortage of field workers, if any, in Rural Areas shall be met with by the Nursing
students, who shall cater to the Semi Urban Areas also.

There are 217 census towns which are likely to consist of 3,000 municipal wards.
The field workers shall be drawn from the Nursing Schools and Nursing Colleges
numbering about 200 and 90 respectively. Out of these 20,000 Nursing Students shall be
drawn from senior classes for visiting the urban population which is likely to be
1, 04, 00, 000 by now. Each field worker shall have to visit a population of 600-700 and as
such 120 to 140 families.
In the urban areas @ 20 families per day the whole exercise shall take one week.
If 10 families are visited daily the exercise shall be over within a period of two weeks.
Adding the grace period for other unforeseen exigencies the task of carrying out the
awareness campaign by door to door visits shall be over in three weeks.
By the same logic as for the rural areas, the data consolidation and transfer time, when
included, the accomplishment of the task in urban areas shall also be co-terminus with
that in the rural areas
The population being concentrated the exercise shall be easier in the urban areas and
can be finished in lesser time.

FIRST REFERRAL LEVEL
After the campaign, it is likely that nearly 2.5-3 lakh persons shall be coming up in the category of
suspected cases. They shall be referred to the First Referral Unit i.e. to the concerned PHC in the
Rural Areas in which their residence falls and urban ones to the urban Dispensaries /Civil
Hospitals falling in concerned urban areas.
The days for the cases of each field worker shall be fixed, so that on a particular day only 10
cases from the campaign are taken to the PHC / Civil/ Urban Dispensary/Civil Hospital
The Medical Officer there shall filter out the cases as cancer suspects and others after
carrying out a detailed medical examination on the basis of the check list provided to them.
Previously diagnosed cancer patients shall be made aware about the services which they
shall be able to avail at the PHC and further in the Pyramid at higher levels for cancer.
Cancer patients who have not availed the Mukh Mantri Cancer Rahat Kosh shall be guided
and helped for the same.
The patients shall also be made aware about the drugs made available at very low rates
through Government efforts.
The patients shall be made aware about the Government facilities and those of the
empanelled hospitals etc. for diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
The persons who are still suspects shall be referred to the CHC/Sub Divisional Hospital in
the rural and the urban areas respectively.
The referral shall be planned so that not more than 10 patients are sent to a CHC on a given
working day and not beyond 10-15 patients to any of the SDHs on any working day.
The patients who have some symptom but are not diagnosed as cancer patients shall be
provided medical care/ advice for their problem.
Cancer Awareness & Symptom Based Early Detection State Wide Campaign Project Proposal
State Health Systems Resource Centre, Punjab Page 22
SECOND REFERRAL LEVEL
As already detailed above all the cases short listed by FRUs shall be sent to the CHC in rural
Areas and SDH in urban areas.
The cases referred by the first level shall be thoroughly examined by the specialists
available there and the available investigations shall also be done as per requirement and
feasibility.
The Diagnosed cases shall be put in the line of management at the appropriate level.
The cases that are still suspect shall be referred to District Hospitals in a planned manner so
as to ensure hassle free care to the patient and also not to over stretch the facilities available.
Not more than 20 patients shall be referred to a District Hospital on any working day.
All cases after filtration shall be sent to the District level Hospitals from where they shall be
referred for confirmatory tests at the tertiary level i.e. the State Medical Colleges. The
referral to Medical Colleges would be in accordance with their area of jurisdiction for
Medical Boards, already duly notified as the same as under.
THIRD REFERRAL TO THE TERTIARY CARE INSTITUTES
o Cancer clinics shall be established in the Tertiary Care Institutes.
o All specialists shall be available in the clinic.
o Patient shall not have to run around
o Not more than 20 patients shall be referred to any Tertiary Care Institute on any given day.
Cancer Awareness & Symptom Based Early Detection State Wide Campaign Project Proposal
State Health Systems Resource Centre, Punjab Page 23
The patients who are put into the category of suspect due to some symptoms shall also be treated
by the first/ 2nd
level hospitals.
(i) Since ASHAs shall be accompanying the suspects and the cancer patients, they shall have not
to run around.
(ii) Treatment and Diagnostic facilities available at Government institutions shall be free, so that
there is no requirement for the arrangement of finances.
(iii) Only 10 patients shall be referred on a given day so no long waiting because of any over
burden
(iv) Since day for visit is to be predetermined there would be no uncertainty.
(v) Trip to hospital can be well planned in advance.
