Don’t Wait for Symptoms. Detect Cancer Early | Manipal Hospital Millers Road

According to Dr. Mahadev Abhishek, Associate Consultant – Surgical Oncology at Manipal Hospital Millers Road, cancer doesn’t always begin with pain, bleeding, or a visible lump. In many cases, it develops silently, with no obvious signs. Over the years, Dr. Mahadev has treated numerous patients who were diagnosed early not because they experienced symptoms, but because they chose to undergo preventive cancer screening. Early detection leads to smaller surgeries, faster recovery, and a greater chance of returning to a full and healthy life. With today’s advanced minimally invasive treatment options, cancer care focuses not just on survival but on preserving quality of life. This Cancer Awareness Month, the message is clear: Don’t wait for symptoms. Prioritize screening, for yourself and your loved ones.
