The word "Cancer" is widely associated with impending death amongst a large number of people. This is understandable as Cancer is a killer disease. According to the W.H.O., globally one out of three women and one out of four men are likely to get cancer in their lifetime. With such a high probability rate, cancer can affect anyone, anytime and anywhere. However very few people know that cancer is curable in a large number of cases if detected early and a patient can lead a normal life. Although the prognosis of the disease is bad in an advanced stage, today the use of modern technology has brought the cure rate of cancer to almost 70-80%.

The Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi has recently started the Apollo Cancer Institute, which is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art facility. It brings in the latest technology with the most competent and highly skilled health care professionals. This institute has the unique advantage of not being a stand-alone cancer unit but also having the most modern backup from all super specialties and diagnostics.
