| Project Name | Financial Assistance to the patients with Thoracic cancer | ||||||
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 49000 | ||||||
| Project Description | Thoracic Oncology DMG deals with complex lung, mediastinum and oesophagus malignancies. Management of these cancers requires multimodality treatment for curative intent. Cancer treatment can be extremely expensive, particularly in India, , where a a significant portion of healthcare costs is covered out-of-pocket by patients. Essential treatments for thoracic cancers, such as lung cancer, include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, all of which impose significant financial burdens. Financial support is crucial as it directly impacts a patient’s ability to access these necessary treatments, ensuring that costs do not impede timely and adequate care. Examining this impact helps healthcare providers and policymakers better understand how to optimize resources for low-income patients. By providing financial support, we can reduce disparities in access to advanced cancer care, ultimately improving survival rates among economically disadvantaged patients. | ||||||
