“30-50 percent cancers are preventable and we are targeting younger age groups who can understand about lifestyle modifications and screening remains mostly for older people and high risk groups,” she said.
Every cancer is on rise globally as well as in Kashmir and as per hospital figures, 20 percent people suffering from colorectal cancers are below 35 years of age.
