[ad_1] World Cancer Day: The COVID pandemic, which shook the entire world and affected at least one member from every family, taught several lessons, one of which was the importance of preventive care. It raised awareness among the masses and encouraged people to prioritise their health in order to reduce their susceptibility for certain diseases. The Fortis Cancer Institute at Fortis Hospitals Mumbai conducted this survey by reaching Mumbai residents in order to better understand how people react to such a serious disease as cancer. The survey focused on a number of cancer prevention and treatment issues, such as early detection, screening, knowledge of the disease, difficulties faced by cancer patients during the pandemic, the need for insurance, and access to better cancer care. The statistic, which involved 4,350 Mumbai inhabitants, showed that the respondents were aware that bad lifestyle choices may cause cancer and that early screening was essential.  Dr. S Narayani,
