End-O Check will provide risk-based assessments, diagnostic testing, and symptom evaluation for women, particularly those in the postmenopausal age group.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Kolkata, July 30, 2025: Reinforcing its commitment to preventive oncology for women, Apollo Cancer Centres (ACCs) today launched End-O Check, a comprehensive early detection program targeting women aged 45 and above. The initiative is designed to detect two of the most prevalent gynaecologic cancers—endometrial and ovarian—at an early and more treatable stage. While endometrial cancer often presents with symptoms such as unexpected bleeding or abnormal discharge, many women fail to report these signs early, leading to delayed diagnosis and poorer outcomes. End-O Check is designed with a focus on early detection in high-risk populations, symptom awareness, and timely intervention, empowering women to take proactive steps for their gynaecologic health.
Speaking at the launch, Mr. Dinesh Madhavan, President, Group Oncology & International, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd, said, “Early detection remains our most powerful ally in improving survival and quality of life in cancer care. End O Check is a proactive step in shifting the narrative from treatment to screening and early diagnosis, enabling timely detection, and precision treatment by cancer management teams “.
Dr Subrato R Debnath, Senior Consultant – Gynae Oncology and Robotic Surgeon, Apollo Cancer Centre, Kolkata, said, “Endometrial cancer has been on the rise in women above the age of 45 years, so early detection is crucial for better outcomes. Global data indicate a five-year survival rate of around 96% for localised disease. However, survival rates drop substantially when diagnosis is delayed, underscoring the importance of timely detection. Key risk factors include obesity, diabetes, early menstruation, late menopause, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), all of which are becoming more prevalent among Indian women.”
Dr. Surinder Singh Bhatia – Director Medical Services, Eastern Region Apollo Cancer Centre, added, “With End O Check, we are expanding our preventive oncology efforts. This program is about creating sustained awareness, encouraging women to prioritise their health, and ensuring equitable access to reliable cancer detection tools. Early detection not only saves lives—it also enables less invasive, more effective treatment options.”
