Government plans childhood cancer registry as India battles 75,000 new cases a year

“One of the key priorities in childhood cancer care is early detection. Setting up a registry for childhood cancer and declaring it a notifiable disease is an issue. We are still working with ICMR on this. The aim is not to miss any patient,” said Leimapokpam Swasticharan, Deputy Director General, Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), on Thursday.
