Profile
Indian Cancer Society, Bengaluru operates through a community of volunteers and is working towards bringing down the cancer incidence and mortality rates in the region through increased awareness levels, early detection and early intervention. It also provides emotional support to cancer patients and care givers.
We have also instituted a programme called Bridge Fund that provides initial financial assistance to needy low-income group patients. We also provide post treatment support by way of emotional counseling and provision of free wigs and breast prostheses to help rebuild self-esteem of cancer survivors.
ICS reaches out to rural and urban people who have little access to information or resources.
