Talking about cancer, Dr Sameer Kaul, said every year more than 7 lakh new cases of cancer are registered, out of which more than 5.5 lakh die because of this disease. “The main reason behind the increasing number of deaths due to this disease is lack of awareness among people. Cancer is treatable but patients come to us very late, sometimes in third or fourth stage because of lack of knowledge about the same. It is very important for every individual to be aware of their body and respond proactively to the visible changes. One must get their full body checkups done on regular basis to avoid any such complication at a later stage.”

“With advanced technologies and expert medical professionals in the country, cancer is curable too. We can fight and win over cancer, if diagnosed timely,” said Dr. Kaul.  Besides discussing a range of topics, Dr Sudheer Tyagi- Senior Consultant, Neuro Surgery spoke particularly about various forms of brain tumours and how innovative treatments have been discovered to treat the disease.
