Why classifying cancer as a notifiable disease could improve treatment
If cancer becomes a notifiable disease across India, it could enhance how the condition is tracked, provide better insight into its trends, and pinpoint areas where medical resources are scarce. Specialists suggest that improved data collection needs to lead to expanded screening programs, faster diagnosis, more robust referral systems, and prompt medical intervention. These steps would help bridge the gap in care and ensure that high-quality cancer services reach those in neglected regions.
