This is a good deed and we welcome it All steps are needed to cure or prevent cancer in society Nations need to forget ideological differences and collaborate on curing and preventing cancer in society Nations need to lend favorable situations and resources under cancer prevalence is rare Today we have made breakthrough in education and medicines on cancer but the life expectancy after cancer incidence is not really encouraging True benign conditions are not there in society for living or earning but cancer malignancy should not be tolerated The preventive and social medicine should always work for cancer curing and leading a life without cancer we call upon nations to embark on this important mile stone in leading ideal societies Finally mass media civil society sociologists should start their work on prevention and curing of cancer in society Ganesh ChennaiRead allPost comment
