Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases, that has over 100 different types and requires therapies and treatments that are not only expensive but also risky. According to National Cancer Registry Programme, India's cancer burden could increase from 1.39 million to 1.57 million by 2025. It is a piece of alarming news, and we must be prepared for it. On the occasion of World Rose Day, which is celebrated in dedication to the welfare of cancer patients, we decided to talk about the cancer care NGOs in India who are not only helping the needy fight this deadly disease financially but also supporting them by providing livelihood opportunities.
