12 Public Information and Education Updated Publications Palliative Home Care This is how your contribution contributes 2006 Isreal Cancer Association Annual Report 2006 The ICA invests tremendous efforts and huge resources in promoting public education on cancer diseases, focusing on the possibilities for prevention and early detection of those prevalent cancers that may be prevented or diagnosed at early stages. Placing an emphasis on special sectors of the population, the information and education activities involve extensive use of the media, advocacy campaigns, publication of informative material and its distribution in hundreds of thousands of copies in Hebrew, Arabic and Russian, and organizing seminars, workshops, lectures and professional training sessions. The information activities are diverse and geared toward the entire population, and are conducted in different settings such as schools, community centers, workplaces, health care funds, IDF (Israel Defense Forces) military bases, and other locations. Additionally, the ICA operates a special tele-information service - ‘Telemeida’, which provides information on all aspects of cancer and its prevention in Hebrew, Arabic and Russian. This service also offers a resource center containing up-to-date professional literature and a link to many databases, where one may receive assistance in searching international computerized databanks from skilled information specialists who are up to date on vital information for patients. Aiming to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality rates, the ICA invests special educational efforts on prevalent diseases which may be prevented or diagnosed at early stages. With this goal in mind, the ICA acts to increase public awareness as to the importance of early detection of breast cancer, preventing smoking hazards and harmful effects of the sun, early detection of skin cancer, proper diet and early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer. Additionally, the ICA endeavors to promote the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and physical activity which may reduce the risk of contracting cancer diseases. Early Detection of Breast Cancer Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant disease in Israel. The ICA leads the battle against breast cancer on all fronts to reduce mortality rates and to assist breast cancer patients and their families in coping, recovering and getting back to normal life as quickly as possible. Breast Cancer Awareness Month October is officially designated as “The International Breast Cancer Awareness Month”. This particular month seeks to raise consciousness of the importance of potentially life-saving early detection, as well as to heighten awareness of numerous breast cancer patients on how to best cope with the disease. Thanks to the exposure this subject has gained, the code of silence has been broken and many myths have been diffused. Eight years ago, the ICA initiated the implementation of activities marking this unique month in Israel. You’re not alone in this war
