Dr Gupta explains, "This study helps us adopt a more targeted cancer approach towards treatment and make india 'cancer free'. According to the phone calls, head and neck cancers were the most common cancer cases. While these diseases are almost completely preventable by lifestyle changes, vaccinations and screening strategies.For breast and colon cancers, there are very effective screening strategies to detect cancer at an early stage. Unfortunately, as india represents a large population, we found that about 2/3 of cancers are detected late, possibly due to low adoption of proper screening.

The study also found that 27 percent of the cases diagnosed in india are in stage 1 and 2 of cancer while 63 percent of cases are in stage 3 or 4.Further, the study revealed that 67 percent of the cancer patients who reached out to the organization were those who were getting cancer treatment from private hospitals. While 33 percent were those who were getting treatment from government hospitals.

Dr ashish Gupta says that Rising obesity rates in our country, changes in dietary habits, especially increased consumption of ultra-processed food, and sedentary lifestyles are also associated with higher rates of cancer. We must adopt a healthy lifestyle and avoid tobacco and alcohol consumption to prevent the risk of cancer in the younger generation.
