Abstract
There is a big need for more comprehensive cancer centres in tier 3 cities in India. These small cities are the most accessible to the majority of the rural population of India. Most of these patients are economically compromised and thus cannot manage treatment options in metropolitan cities. Kolhapur Cancer Centre was started with the philosophy of “paying back to society” and serving these needy patients in rural India.
