Lucknow, 11 October, 2026: To raise awareness about breast cancer and honour the courage of women who have overcome the disease, the Department of Endocrine and Breast Surgery at Medanta Lucknow organised ‘Play for Pink’ on Sunday. Held at Palm Golf Club in Ansal, the event saw breast cancer survivors participate in pink ball cricket and pink golf. The initiative aimed to encourage women to seek timely screening and treatment for breast cancer while highlighting the strength and resilience of survivors.

The breast cancer survivors participated enthusiastically in cricket and golf, sending a powerful message that life can be embraced with confidence and positivity even after battling cancer. During the event, the participants and the Medanta team also spread awareness about the importance of early detection and timely treatment of breast cancer. Dr. Amit Agarwal, Director, Endocrine and Breast Surgery, Dr. Abhishek Kumar Singh, Director, Medical Oncology, Dr. Mohammed Suhaib, Director, Radiation Oncology, and Dr. Roma Pradhan, Associate Director, Endocrine and Breast Surgery, were present on the occasion.

Dr. Amit Agarwal, Director, Endocrine and Breast Surgery, Medanta Lucknow, said, “Early detection plays a crucial role in the treatment of breast cancer. When the disease is diagnosed at an early stage, treatment can lead to better outcomes. Through initiatives like this, we aim to encourage women to remain aware of their health. The stories of women who have overcome breast cancer also inspire others and give them the courage to face their own challenges. Any unusual change should not be ignored, and women should consult a doctor in a timely manner.”

Breast cancer awareness should not be limited to a single month. Women should remain attentive to their health and consult a specialist whenever they notice any concerning changes or have health-related concerns.

Through ‘Play for Pink’, Medanta Lucknow reinforced the message that awareness, timely treatment and courage all play an important role in the fight against breast cancer. The survivors who participated in the event also demonstrated that life can be embraced with renewed enthusiasm and confidence after overcoming the challenges posed by cancer.
