Cancer is the second leading cause of death world wide ( page xiii NCCP WHO, 1995) and is expected to increase by 500% in the coming 25 years (page iv NCCP Govt. of India, 1985). It is taking a heavy toll of precious human lives and destroying the families of the cancer patients due to mental agony and heavy costs of treatment. 2/3 of the new cases are detected in the advanced stages when treatment is ineffective; hence an overall National waste. Such patients continue to block and exhaust the resources which otherwise could effectively be utilized for the treatment of the patients in early stages thereby saving their lives and finances.

After careful study Cancer Aid Society has launched the ISO Certified Nationwide Cancer Control Programme which involves the recommendations of both the National Cancer Control Programmes (NCCP of WHO and Govt. of India) adapted under local conditions. This involves a variety of activities carried; through out the country to combat cancer which causes 12% of all deaths (page xii NCCP WHO 2002).
