The mobile van will help us in keeping a record of which type of cancer is affecting people the most in our country and what are the major causes of the disease. This van is a unique initiative by the government to help spread awareness about the fatal disease cancer.

Dr. Sharma Informed that in India according to a survey the commonly found cancer among Indians is Oral cancer. Indians are exposed to oral cancer due to obvious reasons and the risk of them suffering from oral cancer has increased to 33% followed by cervical cancer.
