India has seen a steady rise in cancer cases over the past decade — but what is truly alarming, as highlighted in the recently published Lok Sabha data, is that cancer-related deaths have increased even faster than new diagnoses.

According to the report, cancer mortality in India has risen by nearly 29%, outpacing the growth in new cases.
This widening gap is not just a statistic, it reflects late detection, delayed treatment, unequal access to care, and a growing burden of preventable cancers.

As a surgical oncologist, this trend is deeply concerning.

Early-stage cancers have significantly better outcomes, yet a large proportion of patients still reach us when the disease is already advanced.

Their is an urgent need for:
• Strong screening programs
• Timely referral to oncology specialists
• Greater awareness of early warning signs
• Better access to multidisciplinary cancer care
• Community-level education to reduce stigma and delays

Cancer is treatable — early detection remains our strongest weapon.

Let us work together to build a more aware, proactive, and cancer-conscious India.

Breast Conservation Surgery (BCS) is now the gold standard of care for early breast cancer.
It allows women to safely remove the tumour while preserving the natural shape of the breast — without compromising survival.
With advanced oncoplastic techniques, precision imaging, and improved radiotherapy, BCS ensures better cosmetic outcomes, faster recovery, and the same cure rates as mastectomy.
