- In the govt sector, research activities for early detection and
treatment of cancer are mostly carried out by Institutions/Departments
such as the Indian Council of Medical Research, Department of Science
and Technology and Department of Atomic Energy.
-The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has developed Bhabhatron and the Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research (SAMEER) has developed Linear Accelerators (LINAC).
- Medical Image Analyser for Cervical Cancer (CerviSCAN) has been developed by them for early detection of cervical cancer through image analysis of PAP smear.
- Department of Science & Technology, “National facility on community based cancer tissue bio bank for drug target” is sanctioned to study the genetics and genomics to understand cancer progression and pathology in Indian population.
- Institute of Cytology and Preventive Oncology under the Indian Council of Medical Research has developed a hand held device called Magnivisualizer with inbuilt source of light that can be used in field conditions for early detection of cervical cancer and oral cancer lesions.
- At present, National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) being implemented under National Health Mission(NHM) for interventions upto the district level includes awareness generation for Cancer prevention, screening, early detection and referral to an appropriate level institution for treatment.
- The focus is on three areas namely breast, cervical and oral Cancer. Screening guidelines have been provided to State Governments for implementation.
