Problem: In India, a country of about 1.2 billion people, cancer has been increasing and will continue to increase at an alarming rate.

Solution: Many cancers can either be prevented or treated effectively when caught early.

The India Cancer Initiative works with dedicated health care professionals, community health leaders, and government officials in India to respond to the rising cancer burden in India. A comprehensive cancer control program has been launched that aims to:

• Prevent cancer
• Save lives
• Diminish suffering from cancer
