The video, claimed by the institute to be the first of its kind, uses animated characters to answer frequently asked questions by the common public so that they can fully understand breast cancer.

Pollachi Sub-Collector Gayatri Krishnan Monday launched the bilingual (Tamil and English) animated video, which is split into nine small learning modules, SRIOR Director Dr Guhan said. It can be accessed from URL "www.breastcancersrior.com".
