International actress and cancer survivor Lisa Ray on Wednesday said she will 'conquer' the disease in her lifetime.

Lisa inaugurated a cancer institute at Fortis Hospitals Ltd's Mulund facility here on Wednesday.

"Courage, fortitude and the right attitude towards life can overcome all odds. In any adverse situation people tend to give up but in my life and my fight against cancer I have learnt that by facing the challenge head on, hope can break through and win. It takes a lot of resilience to face such a situation in life but I believe nothing is impossible if we have the attitude to fight for it, " Lisa told reporters.

"I am happy to associate with Fortis Cancer Institute which has the best clinical talent and infrastructure to give patient the right care. I am also glad to associate with the group to extend my support for spreading awareness around cancer cure in our country. My motto is 'never stop fighting' and we will conquer cancer in our lifetime, " she added.

The most common cancers found in males are cancers of the lung, pharynx, oesophagus, tongue and stomach while among females cancers of the cervix, breast, ovary, oesophagus and mouth are common.

However the breast cancer has overtaken the cervix in the urban population. One of the major reasons for the high incidence of oral cancer is the continued use of tobacco. Tobacco related cancers account for about 52% of all cancers in males and 25% of all cancers in females. In other words these cancers account for more than one third of all cancers in both sexes.
