Dr Bhawna Sirohi speaks to ecancer at the Choosing Wisely: Value added cancer care for India event in Delhi about the concept of 'choosing wisely' with cancer care in India.

She explains the concept of 'choosing wisely' with regards to practice in India and goes in to detail about some specific practices to avoid for a country like India.

Dr Sirohi believes that some of the challenges allude to a 'treatment illusion' where the patient believes that 'something is better than nothing'.
