Cancer is no longer a death trap. It is completely curable if detected early. Various advanced treatments are available to cure cancer now. We are able to cure cancer in 70-80 percent of the patients. With the help of technological advancement in radiation oncology and the anti-cancer drugs, we are now treating the affected area instead of the entire organ as it used to be earlier. In Surgery too only the part of organ that has developed cancer is resected and radiation therapy takes care of the remaining at risk areas. Amputation of limbs is avoided. Limb Salvage surgeries and organ spring procedures are now the norm.

Earlier entire breast used to be removed if the breast is affected by cancer, but now the treatment is focused on the lump so that the breast is preserved.
