Abstract

India is one of the fastest developing countries with tremendous growth in industrialization and healthcare facilities. Research and development in the field of healthcare improved the quality of life and well-being of our population. Despite the availability of healthcare facilities and infrastructure, we are still facing considerable challenges in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. The present review focuses on the history and development of cancer care facilities since independence. The advances in cancer diagnostics for early detection of cancer and developments in the field of conventional surgery, including laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, are reviewed. Immunotherapy, vaccines, and selective targeting of tumor cells using nanotechnology are emerging areas in the field of cancer research.
