CANCER CURE AND CARE

CANCER CURE AND CARE

Cancer is the epidemic of our times and the incidence is increasing globally and in India
The prediction is that by 2025, one out of every six person will have cancer, and at least one member per family may be suffering from this deadly disease
Knowledge of cancer is still full of, myths and doubts and negligence and delay in diagnosis, lead to improper cancer care
The constantly changing modalities, give a great challenge to the oncologists to keep abreast of the latest treatment modalities and also create confusion in the mind of the patient

Cancer can be cured if detected early

This Blog page aims at
Creating awareness about cancer
Giving an opportunity to patients to put up their questions which will be addressed by experts
Continuing Medical Education for the under and post graduates in Oncology
Academic interactions between Oncologists
Case discussions on Cancer Care
Updating our knowledge on recent advances in oncology

As my contribution I shall be putting up short write ups on cancer awareness and treatment, and lessons learnt from articles, books, journals and from CMEs and Conferences

I would request all to participate to learn and teach about cancer care and to help the cancer patients and their relatives and to create awareness about cancer amongst the general population

So please
Feel free to ask any question relating to cancer
Any cancer patient or the relative is welcome put up their queries
Oncologists are requested to contribute towards the CME write-ups
Do project your case discussions as we have been doing through group mails
Do let us know of any new procedure or technique that you are following
Any successful series?
Any change in treatment protocols in guidelines like NCCN
Any information regarding cancer cure and care is welcome

Looking forward to co operation of one and all in spreading cancer awareness and in fighting the demon of cancer
