Mumbai, February 4, 2026:
On the occasion of World Cancer Day, observed globally on 4th February, the spotlight is on strengthening awareness, early diagnosis, and personalized treatment approaches in the fight against cancer. The 2026 theme, “United by Unique,” highlights the need to recognise every patient’s journey as distinct and to tailor care accordingly — a message that resonates strongly with India’s evolving cancer care landscape.
India continues to witness a steady rise in cancer cases, with breast and colorectal cancers emerging among the most commonly diagnosed malignancies, particularly in urban populations. Late detection remains a significant challenge, often leading to complex treatment pathways and poorer outcomes. Medical experts stress that timely screening, awareness of early warning signs, and access to appropriate surgical care can dramatically improve survival rates and quality of life.
Speaking on World Cancer Day, Dr. Aditi Agrawal, a highly rated General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at Apex Superspeciality Hospitals, Borivali West, emphasised the vital role of early intervention and minimally invasive surgical techniques in modern cancer management. With extensive expertise in breast cancer treatment, colorectal disorders, and advanced laparoscopic procedures, Dr. Agrawal has been at the forefront of delivering precise, patient-focused care.
“Cancer care today is not just about treating a disease; it is about treating a person,” said Dr. Aditi Agrawal. “Early detection, especially in breast and colorectal cancers, can significantly reduce the need for extensive surgeries and allow for better functional and cosmetic outcomes. Minimally invasive and laparoscopic approaches help patients recover faster, experience less pain, and return to normal life sooner.” added by Dr. Aditi Agrawal
Known for her patient-friendly and empathetic approach, Dr. Agrawal believes open communication and education are as important as surgical skill. She stresses that fear, stigma, and lack of awareness often delay medical consultation, especially among women, leading to avoidable complications.
On this occasion, Dr. Agrawal also highlighted the importance of regular screenings, self-examinations, and lifestyle modifications. “Simple steps such as timely check-ups, attention to symptoms like unexplained lumps, changes in bowel habits, or persistent pain, and seeking medical advice early can save lives,” she added.
As India moves toward a more integrated and personalized healthcare model, World Cancer Day 2026 serves as a powerful reminder that combining medical expertise, technological advancement, and compassionate care is key to reducing the cancer burden. The message is clear — when cancer is detected early and treated thoughtfully, outcomes improve, and hope grows stronger.
