Cancer! A deadly disease that affects mankind and a trial from the Almighty. The global cancer burden is estimated to have risen to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in a year.
Most of the cancers can be cured if detected and treated at an early stage. But most of them are diagnosed in their advanced stages due to lack of awareness. The palliative care and support improves the quality of life physically, mentally and socially. Kerala, the southern state of India, has the greatest growth ratio in cancers and it is witnessing the emergence of many treatment centers every year. A higher rate of literacy and social support makes Kerala stronger to fight against cancer.
