Dr. Akther Jawade, Director East, Karkinos Healthcare said, “There is a rise in cancer prevalence, particularly among women, with cervical and endometrial cancers among the leading contributors. This increase highlights the urgent need for regular cancer screening, early detection, and improved access to oncology services, especially in rural and semi-urban regions.
