Every May, we raise awareness around multiple types of cancer—brain, skin, bladder, and gynecological cancers among them.

At IOCI, we believe awareness should always lead to action. And sometimes, that action is as simple as getting screened.

Screenings don’t mean you’re sick. They mean you’re responsible.
You don’t need symptoms to start paying attention—you just need time, and a bit of courage.

This May, give yourself or someone you love the gift of clarity. Here are the tests we strongly recommend scheduling today.

 

Brain Cancer Screening

 

While routine screening for brain cancer isn’t advised for everyone, patients with:

• A family history of brain tumors
• Neurological symptoms (headaches, seizures, vision changes)
• A history of radiation exposure

should speak to a specialist immediately.

At IOCI, we use advanced brain imaging and assessments to catch subtle changes early. For patients undergoing treatment, we offer ongoing brain cancer treatment options including Image-Guided Radiation Therapy.

 

Bladder Cancer Screening

 

Blood in urine—even once—is enough reason to schedule a test. So is:

• Frequent urination
• Unexplained pelvic pain
• A history of smoking or chemical exposure (textile, leather, paint, etc.)

 

Our specialists offer painless urine cytology, bladder ultrasounds, and endoscopic scans.

Early detection here can be life-changing.

 

Skin Cancer Screening

 

India’s hot summers aren’t just harsh—they’re cancer-prone, especially for:

• People with moles, sun spots, or non-healing skin patches
• Farmers, teachers, drivers, and outdoor professionals
• Patients with family history of melanoma or basal cell carcinoma

 

A quick mole mapping or dermoscopic scan can tell us a lot. We guide patients through every step—diagnosis, biopsy, and if needed, radiation therapy or surgical care.

 

Gynaecologic Cancer Screening (for Women)

 

If you’ve been postponing your:

• Pap smear
• HPV test
• Mammogram
• Pelvic ultrasound

 

May is the month to stop delaying. We also recommend:

• Cervical Cancer Screening in India (especially for women above 30)
• Breast exams (especially if you have a family history or dense breasts)

 

Why May Matters

 

May is not just another month on the calendar—it’s a reminder to pause and prioritize. Screenings don’t take long. But they can save your future.

At IOCI, we’ve seen time and again:

“It wasn’t cancer—but I’m glad I checked.”
“We caught it early—and that made all the difference.”
