Mehr Razavi, a specialty center where cancer research, training, screening, diagnosis and treatment are carried out, opened on October 3 in Razavi Hospital in Mashhad, the capital of Khorasan Razavi Province.

The center raises public awareness about cancer, ways of preventing it, self-examination and cancer symptoms through workshops and courses, informative booklets as well as publication of articles.

The hospital’s administrator has said that October 3-9 has been designated as hospital’s Cancer Week and added, “Days of this week are named: Public Contribution and Cancer, Mental Security and Cancer, Family and Cancer, The Environment and Cancer, Nutrition and Cancer, Lifestyle and Cancer, Sports and Cancer.”
