Head and Neck Cancers account for nearly 30% of all cancer cases in India. Despite being common, they are often diagnosed at an advanced stage, primarily due to low awareness and late recognition.
Early detection is critical. Regular screening can identify these
cancers when they are still treatable and survival rates are
significantly higher.
Take this 5-minute risk assessment to ‘know your risk’ and protect
your loved ones from cancer.

Five Years of Courage, Care, and Commitment
24th July 2025 | Karkinos Healthcare

We didn’t just celebrate an anniversary — we honoured a journey.
A journey filled with courage, compassion, commitment… and most importantly, hope.
As Karkinos Healthcare marked its 5th year in advancing cancer care, we came together to celebrate our people, our patients, and our purpose. From the moving survivor testimonies to the joy of the Raksha Bandhan ceremony with our fighters — every moment reminded us why we began this mission.

This day was not just about our achievements —
It was about the lives touched.
The hands held during tough times.
The silent prayers, the tireless efforts, and the shared belief that cancer is not the end — but the beginning of a new fight.

To everyone who has been part of this journey — your trust, your courage, and your presence give meaning to our work every single day.

Here’s to saving more lives, touching more hearts, and building a future where cancer is not feared — but fought and defeated, together.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Team Karkinos

Ovarian cancer is often called a silent disease — not because it is rare, but because it rarely speaks early. Most cases are diagnosed in advanced stages, when treatment becomes more complex.

This makes timely recognition of subtle symptoms and access to specialised care all the more important. Take this 5 minute risk assessment to 'know your risk' and prevent your loved ones from cancer. https://knowyourrisk.live.karkinos.in/ #/source=krkwebsite
