Cancer services delivery: focus on India

26 May 2022
Guest Editors: Soumitra Shankar Datta and Eduardo Cazap

This special issue aims to highlight some of the challenges of cancer care delivery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the way these could be overcome, focusing on India.

The six papers cover a wide range of topics including diagnostic performance and survival outcome of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in breast cancer patients, information sharing preferences of professionals looking after children with cancer, pre-operative risk factors associated with a post-operative psychiatric diagnosis in oral cancer patients, and a public policy analysis to understand India's compliance with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

It is hoped that this special issue will contribute to the planning of future cancer services in India. Providing holistic care that is sensitive to the physical and emotional needs of the patient is crucial. There is a need for preventive programmes and early identification of patients as well as cost-effective cancer care that is evidence-based and accessible to the patient.
