WR: Adamus Resources launches Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign in Nzema
He further educated participants on the clinical pathway after a lump is detected, including full blood count, ultrasound or mammogram and biopsy, as well as the three main receptor types — Estrogen, Progesterone and HER2 — which determine treatment options.
Adamus Resources launched a breast cancer awareness campaign in Nzema, Ellembelle District, Western Region, to mark Global Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The event, held on October 1, featured the President of the Adamus Ladies Association, Hannah Chemel, the Site Doctor of the company, Dr. Abdullah Abass, a Gynaecologist, Dr. Roland Paaga, and local women.
Dr. Paaga advised women to perform monthly breast self-examinations and seek clinical examinations every six months, highlighting risk factors such as shisha smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, and lack of physical activity. He explained that clinical pathways for women who detect a lump include a full blood count, ultrasound or mammogram, and biopsy for treatment options.
Dr. Paaga also mentioned the possibility of complete breast removal to prevent cancer spread. Archangel Kaku Bennett, Corporate Affairs and PR Officer, said the initiative was part of the company's commitment to women's and community welfare, with past efforts including health education in schools and reproductive health education in the company's operational areas.
Hannah Chemel urged regular breast examinations and early reporting of warning signs, emphasizing early detection's importance in preventing complications. Attendees expressed gratitude for the initiative, stating its value in dispelling myths and the need for similar programmes in other Nzema communities with limited access to health facilities.
