Description

pulled from site's meta description

India is a vast rural panorama with 70% of the population residing in villages in rural surroundings. Cancer statistics demonstrate that cancers frequently observed in India are lifestyle dependent, with offending factors such as tobacco usage, low socio-economic status, multiple pregnancies and poor sexual hygiene. These factors are closely related to the population living in rural surroundings and they are targets for cancer prevention. Low socio-economic status and low literacy rates ensure that most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease. It is very difficult for these patients to achieve cure and they are always provided with only palliative care with much cost and morbidity. These facts indicate that the strategy for cancer control in India should be focused on health education for the rural population and the creation of an infrastructure for cancer management. The latter is expected to function more efficiently in a rural environment. These systems with appropriate low-cost technology might be able to be duplicated as a model for developing countries with low capital inputs.
