New association for oncology help: Hope for cancer patients in the Gäuboden!

Straubing, Deutschland - in Straubing, an important chapter in the support of cancer patients has started today. The new association oncology help Gäuboden/Eastern Bavaria was founded to better focus on the diagnosis of cancer and its effects on the life of those affected. The start -up step took place at 4:22 p.m. and can be seen as a ray of hope for the region that urgently needs support.

The founding members bring plenty of experience and expertise: Prof. Dr. is at the head of the association Jochen Grassinger as chairman. He receives support from a competent team: Stephan Dräxlmaier as secretary, Prof. Dr. Markus Völk as treasurer and Franz Bast as deputy chairman. The committee is supplemented by the advisory boards Alexandra Huber, Dr. Stefanie Kerscher and private lecturer Dr. Christian Gilfrich. Together they want to pull together to support patients and their relatives in the often difficult time after a cancer diagnosis.

insights into the cancer diagnosis

A central theme of the foundation was the clarification of cancer and its extensive effects on the everyday life of people. Scientific advances in early detection and therapy have also been addressed. The Krebsgesellschaft indicates that in most cases discovered cancer is curable. So it is important to inform the population about preventive measures and early detection tests.

The foundation of the association falls into a historical context: Mildred Scheel, the former first lady and X -ray specialist, founded the German Cancer Aid more than 50 years ago. Their vision was to break the silence of the disease and to create active support for those affected. Today the club in Straubing is another step in this direction, which strengthens the commitment to cancer patients on site, as The Deutsche Krebshilfe .

early detection in focus

The importance of early detection cannot be emphasized enough. Studies show that timely diagnosis drastically increases the chances of survival through various screening measures. preventive examinations are therefore essential for women and men. Women benefit from gynecological exams for early discovery of cervical and breast cancer, while men aged 45 and over the age of 45 can use free screening examinations in urologers to detect prostate cancer.

The new association oncology help Gäuboden/Eastern Bavaria has made a lot. The committed members are determined to become active in their region and to tackle the challenges that cancer entails with personal commitment and knowledge. Not only is helped here, but also hope. IDOWA will certainly continue to report on the developments and challenges of the association.
