He quite explicitly explained the three major causes of cancer, which happened to be 1] smoking 2] consumption of liquor 3] high calorie diet. He also spoke about the highly advanced treatments to cure cancer. He shared the different sessions that he used to carry out at the Cochin Cancer Society along with the inmates of the society who happened to be cancer patients.  He enlightened the gathering about how to lead a cancer free life.

In between his presentation, the fruit break that is a part of the newly initiated BIO BREAK was also enjoyed collectively, wherein people shared fruits with each other and relished too.

She also mentioned about the different symptoms that would help people with the diagnosis at an early stage in order to begin with the effective medication.

The most crucial part of the seminar was the interactive session that was open to all in order to share their queries and concerns. The session turned out to be quite informative as all their concerns were attended to wholeheartedly by the acclaimed wonder doctors Dr. V.P Gangadharan and Dr. Chithrathara. The session was made quite riveting when Dr. Gangadharan amused the gathering with his fascinating skill of blowing mouthorgan and he played to the tunes of a famous bollywood song.
