Cancer is among the top fatal diseases in Thailand. Cancer diagnosis and treatment at an early stage significantly increases the chance of a cure and survival. Every woman should have yearly health checkups and cancer screenings. It is also advisable to maintain a proper, healthy lifestyle to reduce the risks.
