Why It Matters
Early Detection Saves Lives
When detected early, most cancers have survival rates above 90%. Regular screenings can catch cancer before it becomes life-threatening.
Community Strength
A pledge is not just words — it is a commitment to support, educate, and stand alongside those fighting their battle against cancer.
Prevention Is Possible
Up to 50% of cancers are preventable through lifestyle changes — quitting tobacco, healthy diet, physical activity, and vaccination.

Know the Signs
Common Cancer Types & Symptoms
Understanding the warning signs is the first step toward early detection. Select a cancer type to learn more about its symptoms and risk factors.
High Incidence
Breast Cancer
The most common cancer in women worldwide. Early-stage breast cancer often has no pain, making screening essential. Men can also be affected, though rarely.
A new lump or mass in the breast or armpit
Swelling or thickening of part of the breast
Skin dimpling, redness, or flaking near the nipple
Nipple discharge other than breast milk
Any change in size, shape, or appearance of the breast
Pain in breast or nipple area (less common)
75%5-yr survival
"Early detection can increase survival to 99%"
Leading Cause of Death
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death globally. It is largely associated with smoking, but non-smokers can develop it too. Symptoms often appear late.
Persistent cough that does not go away or worsens
Coughing up blood or rust-coloured sputum
Chest pain that is often worse with deep breathing
Shortness of breath or wheezing
Hoarseness or voice changes
Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
20%5-yr survival
"Quitting tobacco reduces risk by up to 90%"
Highly Preventable
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer develops in the colon or rectum and is highly preventable with regular colonoscopy screenings. Diet and lifestyle play a significant role.
A change in bowel habits — diarrhoea, constipation, or narrowing
Blood in stool (bright red or very dark)
Persistent abdominal discomfort, cramps, or gas
Feeling that bowel does not empty completely
Unexplained weight loss and weakness
Anaemia without a clear cause
70%5-yr survival
"Regular screening detects polyps before they turn cancerous"
Vaccine Preventable
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is caused almost entirely by HPV infection. It is one of the most preventable cancers with vaccination and regular Pap smear screening.
Unusual vaginal bleeding between periods or after menopause
Bleeding after sexual intercourse
Watery, bloody vaginal discharge with foul odour
Pelvic pain during intercourse
Early stages often have no symptoms — screening is key
Leg swelling or back pain in advanced stages
80%5-yr survival
"HPV vaccine prevents over 90% of cases"
High in South Asia
Oral Cancer
Oral cancer is especially prevalent in India due to tobacco and betel nut consumption. It is among the most common cancers in South Asian men.
A sore in the mouth that does not heal within two weeks
White or red patches inside the mouth
Lump or thickening of the cheek or tongue
Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or moving the tongue/jaw
Persistent sore throat or feeling something is caught in the throat

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about cancer, the pledge, or how to help? We've answered the most common ones below.
Avoiding tobacco is the single most impactful step — it is linked to at least 15 types of cancer. Beyond that, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying physically active, limiting alcohol, and getting recommended vaccinations (like HPV and Hepatitis B) significantly reduce your risk.
It depends on the cancer type and your personal risk factors. As a general guideline: breast cancer screening from age 40, cervical cancer (Pap smear) from age 21, colorectal cancer from age 45, and oral cancer screening especially for tobacco users at any age. If you have a family history of cancer, consult your doctor about starting screenings earlier.
About 5–10% of cancers are directly inherited through gene mutations (like BRCA1/2 for breast cancer). Having a family history increases your risk but does not guarantee you will develop cancer. Genetic counselling can help assess your risk, and lifestyle changes along with closer screening can significantly reduce the chances of cancer developing.
Your pledge is a personal commitment and a public act of solidarity. Each signature helps us build a community of advocates, raises visibility for cancer awareness campaigns, and encourages others to act. Pledge-takers also receive educational resources and updates on how to live a cancer-preventive lifestyle, multiplying the impact in their communities.
100% of your donation is directed toward three areas: funding free cancer screening camps in rural and low-income areas, supporting patients with transport, meals, and care during treatment, and contributing to cancer research grants. We publish an annual impact report with full financial transparency.
Yes — many cancers can be completely cured, especially when caught early. Cancers such as early-stage breast, cervical, skin, and testicular cancer have very high cure rates. Even for advanced cancers, modern treatments like immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and precision medicine are dramatically improving outcomes and quality of life for patients.
