Cancer Mukt Bharat Foundation is a non-profit organization focussing on educating the masses and creating awareness about cancer prevention.

The organization established a hotline number, 93-555-20202, to enable patients to obtain a free second opinion. 

It is open- Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm.

The oncologists working for the organization conducted a study on data obtained between March 1 and May 15, 2024, when 1,368 callers were registered, the majority of whom were actually contacting for second opinions on their diagnosis.

Of all the callers, 60% were male cancer patients under the age of 40.

It turns out that head and neck cancer accounted for 26% of all instances, with gastrointestinal cancers (16%), breast cancer (15%), and blood cancers (9%), following closely behind.

Additionally, the study also discovered that 27% of cancer cases identified in India are in stages 1 and 2, while 63% are in stages 3 or 4.
