If you’re too busy to learn more about breast cancer or book yourself a clinical breast examination, then the health professionals will come to you!

ICanServe Foundation has collaborated with the Philippine Society of Oncology for #OktoberPH, a multi-venue breast cancer forum to be held in over 20 destinations all over the country on October 8, 2015.

Kara Magsanoc-Alikpala, ICanServe founding president says, “We’re doing this to scale up our efforts at promoting early breast cancer detection. By doing the event together with people who share the same cause, we are hoping we become louder. And with each passing year, it would be harder to ignore our message.”

Breast cancer screening through clinical breast examination will be conducted in select sites. There will also be lectures on the risk factors, symptoms, myths, and facts about breast cancer.

ICanServe Patient Services Head Dr. Cecille Montales says, “We are teaching people that early detection offers the best protection because there is no one cause pinpointed for breast cancer. We cannot say that a particular method or food or lifestyle can prevent breast cancer because there is no evidence of such.” Actors Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano volunteered to advocate #OKtoberPH and its message, “Early Breast Cancer Detection is your Best Protection.”

Below is a listing of the OktoberPH venues. Tell your family and friends about it!
