A comprehensive, sustainable breast cancer early detection model-Komarada village, AP
Komarada village, Andhra Pradesh, January 8, 2026: Comprehensive Sustainable Approach to Breast Cancer Early Detection Screening and Care: Awareness Creation, Telugu-Based BSE Training, Hands-on learning using a BSE simulator model, Clinical Breast Examination, and Complete follow-up of all suspicious cases, in collaboration with Pasarlapudi Rama Ganga Trust and Breast Cancer Hub (BCH).
100% free services were provided.
146 women screened.
All suspicious cases underwent ultrasound-fully funded by the Trust
I personally conducted Clinical Breast Examinations, while simultaneously training local doctors, enabling parallel examinations and building sustainable local capacity.
Empowering self-care at home:
Every family received BSE Cards (Her & Him) in Telugu, developed by Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) and collaborators.
• Participants were guided to download a monthly BSE reminder app via QR code
• Villagers practiced hands-on BSE using a prototype breast cancer simulator, gaining confidence to detect changes early
My deepest gratitude to Bokka Prasanth Kumar and family-Bokka Gangadhara Rao, Bokka Lakshmi, and Dr. Bokka Anirudh Kumar, founders of the Pasarlapudi Rama Ganga Trust. Your generosity made this camp a reality. Words are truly not enough.
To ensure continuity of care, my WhatsApp contact was shared with all participants. Dr. Anirudh Kumar will continue to coordinate follow-ups, bridge Telugu–English communication, and ensure no suspicious case is left behind.
Heartfelt thanks to the incredible team whose dedication made this camp possible: Dr. Anirudh Kumar, Dr. A. Lakshmi Lalitha, Settimi Aruna (CHO/MLHP), Vundurthi Durga (MPHA), Kommula Umamaheswara Rao (MPHA), Chuttugulla Mani (ASHA), Katta Durga Nagalakshmi (ASHA).
Special thanks to Kadali Srinivas and family for the flawless execution and heartfelt hospitality, and to the Bokka family for their generous accommodation, meals, and seamless logistics from Pasarlapudi to Vijayawada-memories I will forever cherish.
And a heartfelt thank you to my husband, Sandeep Roy, for sponsoring my travel to India and onward from Vijayawada.
Early detection saves lives.
Together, we continue to bridge the gap-one village at a time.
