Breast Cancer and Early Detection

Health awareness constitutes the first line of defense against diseases, making early detection and preventive measures essential steps toward a healthier and safer society. Driven by its social responsibility and commitment to disseminating health literacy, PUA continues to organize awareness initiatives that elevate health consciousness across its campus community.

In this context, PUA’s Community Service and Environmental Development Center (CSED), in collaboration with the Student Activities Department, held an educational seminar on breast cancer. The lecture was delivered by Prof. Dr. Maher Mohamed Saber, Professor of Clinical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, who outlined breast cancer fundamentals, key risk factors, and notable signs and symptoms, while emphasizing how routine screening and early detection significantly enhance treatment outcomes and recovery rates.

The seminar highlighted the importance of advancing community awareness regarding the disease, correcting common misconceptions, and encouraging women to undergo regular medical check-ups without ignoring symptoms that warrant clinical consultation. This seminar aligns with CSED’s dedication to building health awareness and partnering with the Student Activities Department to cultivate preventive practices on campus, furthering the university’s mission to serve the community and improve quality of life.
