Apollo Cancer Centres launches CanWin

Bengaluru, June 25 (UNI) In a significant step towards marking National Cancer Survivors Month, Apollo Cancer Centres (ACCs) today announced the launch of 'CanWin', a cancer support group that brings everyone together in their cancer journey.
Rooted in belief that "shared strength can change lives", CanWin, a brand agnostic platform brings together oncologists, psycho-oncologists, patients, survivors, caregivers, and volunteers to create a compassionate community built on empathy, support and shared understanding.
The initiative was launched with an emotional story telling session led by the cancer winners where each one of them took the centre stage to share their personal stories of courage, strength and triumph.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Dinesh Madhavan, President, Group Oncology & International, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd, said, "Today's fight against cancer goes beyond advanced therapies -- it's equally about emotional resilience and human connection. Initiatives like CanWin bridge that gap by offering cancer winners a platform to share, reflect, and heal, with doctors and caregivers standing in solidarity."
The event also featured professional storytellers who mentored cancer winners to share their journeys as a means of healing, advocacy, and connection.
"Storytelling helps give meaning to pain. It transforms silent battles into shared wisdom. These cancer winners are not just telling stories, but they're rewriting the narratives of what it means to live with and beyond cancer," said Mr Prashant Pradhan, a professional storyteller- who mentored the cancer winners.
The event also saw participation from leading oncologists, who highlighted that cancer survival rates have significantly improved across all age groups, especially with early detection and advanced treatment.
Apollo Cancer Centre has a network spread across India with over 400 oncologists to oversee the delivery of high-end precision oncology therapy.
