cancer being a non- communicable disease..will it ever become a notifiable disease? but looking at the escalating statistics it seems to have reached epidemic propotions! the doctor could have mentioned some of the ongoing clinical trials in india and also about the role of the oncologist in palliative care as currently not that many are involved in it.
