Dr Suresh Advani's Take on Cancer Treatment ;
"Cancer patients back in the 70s went to hospitals to die. Yes, the results were poor back then. I have seen in my lifetime a revolution in treatment. Over three decades ago, there were less than a dozen drugs available to treat cancer. Now we have thousands. Drug discovery used to happen once in 10 years back then. But, now thousands of drugs and new types of treatments are available thanks to technology and research. Using the best and the most advanced medicines available today from the Ist Day of Treatment is my mission."
