Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], January 31: In India, there are approximately 6 million cancer patients, with over 70% diagnosed at advanced stage, leading to a mortality rate of 63%. This high mortality rate can be attributed to limited access to healthcare facilities and a lack of insurance coverage for 36% of patients. Even when insured, cost of cancer care is very high starting from Rs 4-5 lakhs for early-stage treatment and going up to Rs 20 lakhs average for advanced stage treatment. Research indicates that 30-50% of cancer types are preventable, and many can be effectively treated with timely intervention. Integrative oncology, an approach combining medical and complementary treatments, aimed at treating the whole person, not just the disease, has shown promising results. Patients who followed integrative oncology protocols saw an improvement in survival, highlighting the importance of this approach in cancer care.
