Durant tout ce mois dédié à la lutte contre le cancer du sein, l’Agence Régionale de Santé de Martinique et la Plateforme Régionale d’Oncologie de Martinique (PROM) rappellent l’importance de se remobiliser pour relancer la dynamique du dépistage en Martinique.
À l’occasion du mois dédié à la lutte contre le cancer du sein, l’Agence Régionale de Santé de Martinique et la Plateforme Régionale d’Oncologie de Martinique (PROM) rappellent l’importance de se remobiliser pour relancer la dynamique du dépistage en Martinique.
Pendant la pandémie de Covid-19, la pratique de dépistage du cancer du sein a baissé de 20%. Il est donc urgent de rattraper son retard ” afin de permettre aux femmes martiniquaises de bénéficier d’un dépistage efficace “, indiquent l’Agence Régionale de Santé de Martinique et la Plateforme Régionale d’Oncologie de Martinique (PROM), dans un communiqué commun, ce lundi 3 octobre.
En Martinique, avec près de 250 nouveaux cas diagnostiqués chaque année, le cancer du sein est le cancer le plus fréquent chez la femme (33% de l’ensemble des cancers). C’est aussi la première cause de mortalité par cancer, avec près de 60 décès par an. ” Pourtant, s’il est détecté tôt, le cancer du sein est guéri dans 9 cas sur 10 “, précisent l’ARS et la PROM.
Chaque année, près de 37 000 femmes âgées de 50 à 74 ans sont invitées à se faire dépister dans les 11 centres d’imagerie médicale agréés implantés sur le territoire.
Depuis le début de la campagne de dépistage en 2004, près de 1200 cancers du sein ont été diagnostiqués dans le cadre du programme de Dépistage organisé, dont 8% à la seconde lecture (avis systématique d’un second radiologue).
En ce mois d’octobre, plus d’une soixantaine d’évènements sont organisés en Martinique. Un programme riche qui a débuté ce 1er octobre avec le « Village santé » sur la Savane de Fort-de-France ainsi qu’une conférence-débat à partir de 18h au quartier Desmarinière, à Rivière-Salée.
D’autres communes telles que Sainte-Luce, Ducos, Saint-Esprit, le Lamentin, Saint-Joseph, Diamant, Marigot, Schœlcher, Saint-Pierre, Rivière-Pilote, les Anses-d’Arlet, Marin et le Carbet seront mobilisées. Ces différentes opérations seront relayées sur les réseaux sociaux et sites internet de l’ARS Martinique et de la Plateforme Régionale d’Oncologie de Martinique.
« Partenaires, acteurs de santé, associations et communes se mobilisent autour d’actions fortes, afin de sensibiliser et encourager l’ensemble de la population féminine concernée au dépistage », insistent l’ARS et la PROM.

ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED ON TUESDAY 4TH OCTOBER, 2022 TO ALLOW FOR THE A&BUT TO MEET WITH ITS MEMBERSHIP FOLLOWING A MEETING TODAYWITH THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION.
TEACHERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO ATTEND SCHOOL AS NORMAL.

Education Minister Hon Daryll S. Matthew is hopeful a planned meeting with the Antigua and Barbuda Union of Teachers this afternoon will bear fruit.
Minister Matthew says he has written to the President of the Union Casroy Charles Jr to request a 1PM meeting after teachers threatened industrial action.
The proposed action follows repeated vandalism of public schools across the country and what the Union has cited as a failure of the Education Ministry to provide adequate security.
The Union in a letter dated and sent last Friday indicated if 24-hour security were not provided for schools by today teachers would not report for work on Tuesday.
In an interview on ABS News this morning, the Minister said he expects cool heads to prevail and that the Union will come to the meeting seeking a mutually beneficial outcome to the issue.
He cites ongoing communication with the Union to include a recent invitation of the Union to Cabinet as his Ministry’s commitment to alleviate the concerns of the teaching fraternity. (STATE MEDIA)

Ex-broadcaster Ed Fung and former colleague at TTT Ann Winston at a function in 2017. –
ED FUNG, one of TT’s most recognisable voices in local radio and faces of local television news, has died at the age of 97.
Newsday understands Fung died peacefully at his home in D’abadie, on Monday morning.
Fung was a founding member of the now-defunct Radio Guardian (later renamed Radio 610 AM), set up in 1957, and became the station’s first news editor.
He established himself at Radio Guardian as one of the country’s most prominent broadcasting talents, a number of his friends and former co-workers have said.
Fung also went on to become a coach and mentor to some of the most well-known figures in the industry, including former Trinidad and Tobago Television (TTT) head of news Neil Giuseppi.
Giuseppi told Newsday, “His professionalism as a broadcaster and as a newsperson made him stand out, as well as his being a trainer of young people. You could not have passed under Ed Fung and not learn a hell of a lot about media. He was a wealth of knowledge and willing to impart it to all who passed under him.”
After leaving Radio Guardian, Fung joined TTT and then returned to Radio 610 as programme director in 1975 for another short stint.
He subsequently joined his long-time colleague Dale Kolasingh at Audio Visual Media (AVM) Caribbean Ltd, a video production house that later transitioned to AVM Television in 1990.
Fung was responsible for training reporters and archiving programmes, skills Giuseppi said he always excelled at.
“He trained so many people in broadcasting,” said Giuseppi, who was himself one of them.
“Literally plenty, plenty people trained under him. He and Yusuf Ali were two of my mentors. They taught me everything I know about news.
“He was also an excellent news reader. He was also an excellent cook,” Giuseppi said, noting that Fung hosted television and even radio programmes centred on cuisine.
Former Newsday editor in chief Jones P Madeira, who worked alongside Fung at various points of their careers, said his ex-colleague was formidable in all aspects of electronic media.
“(Fung) took broadcast programming to heart and soul,” Madeira said.
Fung, he added, had particularly prominent phases during his career. The first, he said, was “in the early days of 610 (Radio), which produced the cream of the crop of broadcasting in the Caribbean,” which he credited largely to Fung’s knack for training up-and-coming broadcasters.
The second phase was the “semi-retired Fung,” who “did a lot of programmes on 610 Radio and Radio Trinidad.”
Madeira said there were many competition-type programmes in those days, in which there were quizzes and sponsors who provided the prizes.
“(It’s the kind of programme) if you’re not a seasoned broadcaster, what can happen to you is that you become very entrenched in the competitive environment that the sponsors were pushing, and you lose the value of the production eye on a programme.
“In other words, the listener must know why he or she is listening to the programme, and what he gets out of it besides a box of Tide.”
Madeira said Fung never compromised the news and education elements of his shows with commercialism and entertainment.
The third phase, Madeira said, was the retired Fung.
“Here you have this guy (still) in active duty, a man with a voice, a man with a passion for the profession, a man who knew what to do…whenever he was broadcasting.
“He was excellent in (outdoor) broadcasting, for instance, taking to the field and telling you what’s happening.”
Madeira remembered Fung as being part of a TT government delegation to China and other parts of the world, during which “he put this country on the map via broadcasting.”
He was primarily a radio broadcaster, Madeira said, “but he was also an excellent television newscaster. He did all aspects of electronic media in TT.”
Madeira said there is a need for more experienced broadcasters like Fung on the airwaves nowadays.
“(They’re) not easy to get, because a lot of the media is translated into entertainment, and the information and education go through the back door, which is sad. But one hopes that we can get back to that one day.”
Fung is said to have been “very active” up until at least a few years before his death.
His family is currently making arrangements for his funeral, details of which are expected to be announced in the coming days.
