Dr Balaji Ramani-Why should we not fear cancer

If you were to be diagnosed with cancer, how do you think you would feel? It would depend on the stage of cancer of course, but there’s a good chance that no matter the details, the word “cancer” would make the diagnosis much more frightening. Frightening enough, in fact, to do you as much harm, or more, than the disease itself.

There has been a lot of progress in medical science and more options now available than there were even 5 years ago. Today doctors better understand how to find many cancers in the early stages. They also have more treatments to try if one doesn’t work.

Dr Balaji Ramani, Senior Consultant, Oncology, at MGM Cancer Institute & MGM Healthcare clarifies the doubts about cancer which usually people have. MGM Cancer Institute is a dedicated cancer care facility which aims to provide cutting edge, evidence-based treatment for cancer that redefines modern-day medication.
