March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month! 

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the Philippines—but it is preventable, treatable, and beatable when detected early. Regular screening, a healthy lifestyle, and awareness can save lives.

This month, PCS Cancer Commission joins the global movement to raise awareness and advocate for better prevention, early detection, and quality cancer care for all Filipinos. Let’s break the stigma, encourage screenings, and support those affected by colorectal cancer.

Together, we can build a #StrongerPhilippines against cancer.

Let's take a moment to appreciate and thank the doctors who make a difference every day. Your care, courage, and compassion inspire us all. 

March is Kidney Cancer Awareness Month! 

Kidney cancer may not always show symptoms, but early detection can save lives. Many cases are found by chance through ultrasounds or CT scans—making routine health check-ups more important than ever.

Know Your Risk!

• High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, or Heart Disease? Take extra care of your kidney health.

• Imaging Tests Show a Mass? Don’t wait—consult a Urologist immediately.

• Early Detection = High Cure Rates! The sooner kidney cancer is treated, the better the outcomes.
  
  

This March, let’s raise awareness and take action. Your health matters—don’t ignore the signs! 

Kidney cancer may rank 14th among the most common cancers worldwide, but its impact can be life-changing—especially when detected late. Early detection is key!

Dr. Rodolfo I. De Guzman, President of the Philippine Society of Uro-Oncologists, emphasizes:

“While there are no symptoms specific for kidney cancer, early detection rates have risen due to incidental findings on ultrasounds and CT scans. If you have suspicious findings, consult a Urologist immediately—treatment for early-stage kidney cancer has very high cure rates.”

Take charge of your kidney health:

• If you have hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease, monitor your kidney function closely.

• If an imaging test reveals a renal mass or complex cyst, don’t wait—seek medical advice immediately.

• Early treatment improves survival and quality of life!

The PCS Cancer Commission Foundation and the Philippine Society of Uro-Oncologists are united in advocating for awareness, early diagnosis, and multidisciplinary cancer care.

Let’s work together to fight kidney cancer and save lives! 

Awareness is the first step—spread the word! 

The PCS Cancer Commission Foundation honors and thanks Chef Margarita “Gaita” Forés—a celebrated Filipino chef, two-time cancer survivor, and unwavering advocate for quality cancer care.

Through her strength, generosity, and passion, Chef Gaita has inspired many, proving that resilience and hope can shine even in the toughest battles.
