A leading Oncologist has a different take on Cancer. He explains how Cancer is slowly moving away from the status of a Deadly Disease and the importance for society to be educated about cancer and treat the Patients as you would any other person. Dr. VP Gangadharan is a renowned oncologist who heads the medical and pediatric oncology department at the Welcare Hospital as well as Lakeshore Hospital in Kochi, Kerala. He has been actively involved in the formation of Cochin Cancer Society in 2004 which supports poorer sections of society impacted by cancer by providing them with subsidized medicines and free counseling. The society also educates the public about cancer and conducts camps for early detection among women. He was the former Head of the Department at Regional Cancer Center - Trivandrum and was primarily responsible for designing and developing the Medical Oncology Department. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
