Cancer is one of the dreaded killer diseases of modern times. Day by day cancer patients are increasing and the need for relief grows unabated. Cancer claims 50 lives every hour in India. In the same hour 100 more are diagnosed with it. Annually 4, 40,000 people die of cancer, while 900,000 are diagnosed with it. At any given moment, there are 26, 00,000 cancer patients in India. Their treatment is long, expensive, and exhausting. Unless society joins the battle in all earnestness, the cancer victims and their families will be consigned to a life of pain, suffering, anguish, and indignity
