  "account": "Adamus Resources Limited initiated its Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign in Nzema, Western Region, with a strong emphasis on early detection. The launch took place at their mining car park in the Ellembelle District on October 5, 2026. The event, themed \"Every story is unique, Every Journey Matters,\" was co-hosted by Hannah Chemel, President of the Adamus Ladies Association, and Dr. Abdullah Abass, Site Doctor of ARL, alongside Dr. Roland Paaga, a gynecologist.\n\nDr. Paaga warned that breast cancer is not exclusive to women, as men can also develop the disease, often leading to higher fatalities due to delayed diagnosis and treatment. He urged women to perform monthly self breast examinations and visit health facilities for clinical breast examinations at least every six months. Factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, and lack of physical activity were identified as significant risks for breast cancer.\n\nDuring the event, Dr. Paaga explained the clinical pathway for breast cancer detection, which includes a full blood count, ultrasound or mammogram, and biopsy, as well as the three main receptor types - Estrogen, Progesterone, and HER2 - which determine treatment options. He explained why complete removal of the breast might be recommended even for small lumps, as cancer cells could have spread to other parts of the breast tissue.\n\nCorporate Affairs and Public Relations Officer Archangel Kaku Bennet highlighted that the initiative is part of Adamus Resources' ongoing investment in women's health and community wellbeing. This year, the company will provide breast screening and education at Kwame Nkrumah Senior High School in Sein and Asanta in the Ellembelle District. Hannah Chemel, President of the Adamus Ladies Association, encouraged participants to regularly examine their breasts and report early warning signs to health facilities for timely treatment. She stressed that early reporting saves lives and discouraged self-medication or ignoring unusual changes in the breasts.\n\nParticipants commended Adamus Resources and its Ladies Association for the informative campaign, which helped dispel myths about breast cancer and emphasized the importance of regular self-examinations. They called for such programs to be extended to more remote communities in Nzema where access to health information and screening is limited.",
