Therapeutic Expertise: Oncology

Increased life expectancy, lifestyle changes, and migration to urban areas with better access to healthcare has helped the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in India to increase significantly. According to the American Cancer Society, there are approximately 2.5 million patients currently suffering from a form of cancer in India, and approximately 800,000 cases were diagnosed in 2000. More than 70% of India’s cancer patients receive late diagnoses, when symptoms are advanced and treatment is less effective. With the number of cases steadily increasing, physicians are working to find alternative treatments and a cure for the various forms of cancer prevalent in India.

Patient Access India’s extensive disease and treatment-naïve populations coupled with our network of research sites provide substantial patient access for FDA- regulated global trials.
