Tumor Markers - For Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
An ideal tumor marker for a cancer should be specific to that cancer and not generate false positive results.

"Having gone through the experience myself, I feel that support in any way or form is an important part of the healing process. I hope these specially designed blouses will give that much needed boost to women who have fought breast cancer and survived it," said the actress.

"Sahachari Foundation's support to cancer survivors in the form of the donation convinced me that I had to be associated with the cause," added the actress who found solace in yoga following her successful battle against cancer in 2012.

Design One, a two-day couture extravaganza that brings together some of the leading designers to raise funds for deserving NGO's working for women's betterment, will be held at The Lodhi hotel from Feb 26.
