CANCER CURE

Our mission: To offer emotional support and medical aid to cancer patient

Cancer Cure Fund Cancer Cure Fund (CCF) is the flagship project of Indian Cancer Society (ICS) which provides financial aid for treatment of needy cancer patients. Cancer is curable, if detected early and treated in time. However, most patients in India with cancer are not able to afford the treatment costs and therefore do not survive the disease. This project provides financial aid up to Rs. 4 lacs to each cancer patient to undergo treatment and emerge as a victor. CCF has transformed lives of over 2500 needy cancer patients across the country, many of whom have completed their treatment and returned to a productive life again. ICS has implemented this at a pan India level covering over 26 states. We are pleased to report that 80% of the beneficiaries are less than 30 years of age, which means more birthdays to be celebrated! CCF was initiated in February 2011 as a joint initiative with HDFC AMC, where in a close-ended capital protection oriented income scheme called 'HDFC Debt Fund for Cancer Cure’ was launched. This scheme provided the investors an option to donate 50% or 100% of their dividend income from the fund to ICS to provide financial assistance to the needy cancer patients for their treatment. The money raised through the donation of dividend income by unit holders of this fund was utilized by ICS to fund the treatment costs of needy cancer patients under Indian Cancer Society - Cancer Cure Fund.

In FY 2015-16, ICS CCF has received donations aggregating to Rs. 6.39 crores from over 2500 investors in this fund. Further, HDFC AMC has given its CSR funding of Rs. 6.64 crores to this project. ICS is grateful to each of those 2500 investors of this fund who have donated their income to ICS and have helped transform the lives of these patients through CCF. ICS would also like to place on record its gratitude to HDFC AMC for launching this unique product that has enabled ICS to raise the funds required for this project. Looking at the success of the project, corporates are now keen to contribute to the project. In FY 15-16, we received donations from Union bank of India, Roche India, oriental Bank of Commerce and several other individual donations.

Dr. Arun Kurkure Initiation and Treatment Fund

Everyday hundreds of poor patients come to Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai) from across the

country because they may be suffering from the deadly disease Cancer. Often they come with

nothing as many come from underprivileged backgrounds. The financial numbers that they hear

towards the cost of initial diagnosis scares them to return. In a study done by just the paediatric

department at TMH showcased, that the dropout rate was 20%.

To overcome this, Indian Cancer Society (ICS) came up with the Dr. ArunKurkure Initiation and

Treatment Fund. This fund is aimed at poor patients who are unable to afford the initial costs of

diagnosis and/or need help in covering certain part of their treatment costs. Any patient from a

government hospital can take benefit of this fund. For diagnosis, an immediate payment of

Rs 15,000/- is made to their account in the hospital to enable the treatment to start. For patients

who need additional aid for their treatment an additional Rs. 10,000/- is provided. The objective of

diagnosis help is to determine whether they truly suffer from cancer or not rather than go back to

their villages and return only to find that the disease has multiplied manifold.

In the last 3 years, ICS has helped more than 2600 patients by assisting them initiate diagnosis and

covering part of their treatment cost. We have spent nearly Rs3crores through this fund in the last 3

years.

In December 2009, Sir Ratan Tata Trust magnanimously offered to assist Indian Cancer Society

in its efforts of providing financial aid to the underprivileged cancer patients undergoing

treatment at the Tata Memorial Hospital & the Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital.

Under this project, Indian Cancer Society along with SRTT, funds part or the entire treatment

costs of 7 cancer patients each month. The patient applications are thoroughly scrutinized by

Indian Cancer Society`s medical social worker in accordance with the strict guidelines laid down

by SRTT and then send them to SRTT for evaluation and acceptance.

People touched : 63 Total amount sanctioned : 1,37,56,000/-

Meet a few of our patients…

1. Paritosh Mahuri

A sole bread-winner for a family of three in Agartala, Tripura, Paritosh Muhuri was diagnosed with cancer in

2002. He had an annual income of Rs 42,000 through private tuitions. He started getting severe joint pain and

fever and was devastated when diagnosis at the GB hospital in Agartala confirmed that he was suffering from

Acute Myeloid Luekemia, a kind of blood cancer.

Paritosh was referred to Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai for treatment in August 2013 after his condition

worsened and he started to complain of throat pain and bleeding. He was asked to undergo Bone Marrow

Transplant (BMT) in October that year, as it was the only way to save his life.

With the total cost of treatment likely to be around Rs 12, 00,000, Paritosh was resigned to his fate as he had

spent all his life savings on his treatment in the past decade and had even sold his land to fund the same. He

was referred to ICS-CCF by the hospital’s Social Service Department. After detailed analysis of his case, ICS-

CCF sanctioned Rs.4 lakhs for his treatment in July 2014 and the BMT was completed within six months. After

completion of his treatment, Paritosh has started giving private tuitions. His daughter is now 5 years old and

the doting father has thanked ICS-CCF for the support in his treatment and helping him start his life afresh.

2 .Pankaj Kumar

Son of a farm laborer in Bulandsheher, UP, Pankaj’s life was turned upside down when he was diagnosed

with Osteogenic Sarcoma. Just 20, Pankaj was preparing for entrance tests to join the Indian Army when a

freak accident while dancing at a friend’s wedding resulted in a minor fracture which ultimately led to

Osteogenic Sarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Complaining of severe pain in his leg, Pankaj was referred to

Dharmshila Cancer Hospital in Delhi where it was confirmed that he was suffering with bone cancer and the

doctors were quick to suggest amputation of his leg so that the infection would not spread elsewhere. He

then went to Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute (RGCI), New Delhi, for a second opinion.

At RGCI, the doctors also recommended surgery to amputate the leg and then would provide him with

prosthesis. The entire treatment cost was approximately Rs.5.5 lacs at RGCI and it was not possible for his

parents to arrange for the money. He was therefore referred to ICS - CCF by the treating doctor in RGCI in

August 2012. ICS - CCF then sanctioned Rs. 4 lacs for his treatment and with these funds he completed his

surgery and also got prosthesis. He is now on follow up at RGCI, Delhi. Pankaj has also completed his

education and is a commerce graduate. He is currently working as a Computer Operator in BSNL, receiving a

salary of Rs. 9,000/- per month. On 10th March, 2016 he got married and still continues his passion of bike

riding and is deeply grateful to ICS - CCF for valuable assistance and giving him a ray of hope to be able to live

his life.

DARE TO DREAM

Dear Friends,

Can we dare to dream of a world where cancer is no longer feared? Where it’s a disease that has a cure? Where

the majority are survivors, not victims. Yes, we can. The Indian Cancer Society with renewed vigour and zeal is

striving to turn this dream into a reality.

As India’s most respected NGO in the cancer space for the past 65 years, we play an active role in creating

awareness and encouraging early detection among the masses. Facilitating cure, rehabilitation for the

underprivileged patients and offering support to survivors has always been our area of focus.

It is time now to scale up our activities, set new goals for 2020. A national footprint should see us manning 100

mobile detection vans throughout the country creating cancer awareness through films developed on key

cancers in the regional languages and providing early detection at your doorstep. The youth of our country must

lead the change of mindset towards this dreaded disease through social media and events. Raising Rs 100 crores

for disbursement through the Cancer Cure Fund will make the life-saving treatment available to many of those

who simply cannot afford it.

To this end, in the past one year, we have produced 4 films in 7 languages raising awareness and encouraging

early detection. Students, young professionals and matinee idols - Varun Dhawan and John Abraham - have been

enrolled to be part of our mission. CSR funding has enabled us to add a new state-of-the-art detection van,

currently under fabrication, to increase our reach in the rural areas.

To further increase the impact of our Cancer Cure Fund in collaboration with HDFC AMC, we have added 7

hospitals to our empanelled list, which now totals 14 across India. Since its establishment in 2011 we have

sanctioned Rs 26 crores, to fund the treatment of 1720 cancer patients. We have now nearly quadrupled our

disbursements with the enhanced new fund and CSR support from HDFC. In fact, this dimension of the ICS

success story has evoked a Harvard Business School case study. A special paper on the fund was presented at

the last World Cancer Congress held in Australia, in December 2014, by our Medical Director, Dr Purvish Parikh.

ICS has also reorganized its operating structure by identifying 4 core areas – Awareness & Detection, Cancer

Cure, Cancer Registry responsible for research and knowledge, and Rehabilitation and Survivorship, which

includes the Ugam Foundation – a group of childhood cancer survivors.

Integrated planning and execution with our Branches is key to help realize this dream. Towards this end, the 2nd

edition of “ICS ONE” being held in November 2015, will help amalgamate all our efforts into one single tide.

The need of the hour, is to come together from all walks of life, pool in our resources to battle this disease and

emerge victorious. We seek active support and assistance from individual donors, trusts, the corporate world,

medical fraternity, hospitals, the government, health ministry, well-wishers, stakeholders and all related NGOs

to help scale-up our activities.

The next 5 years will help ICS take the giant leap to realize this dream.

ABOUT INDIAN CANCER SOCIETY

Indian Cancer Society was established in 1951 by Dr. D.J. Jussawalla and Mr. Naval Tata as India's first

voluntary, non-profit, National Organization for Awareness, Detection, Cure and Survivorship of those

affected with this disease.

Indian Cancer Society has been doing sterling work in fighting cancer across India. It has been and

continues to be the beacon of hope for thousands of our poor cancer affected brethren. The extent

of help required is phenomenal. Most of the patients come to us from all over the country and can’t

afford two meals a day. In such cases undergoing treatment is beyond their capacity. The society is

entirely dependent on public support for its various activities concerned with financing the treatment

and rehabilitation of cancer patients and for spreading the cancer awareness and its early detection.

Activities

Creating nationwide awareness of cancer, its risk factors, preventive measures, treatment

options, survivorship, and encouraging regular checkups as cancer can be cured if detected

early.

Providing for the early detection of cancer through cancer detection centers and mobile

cancer detection camps across India, especially for the underprivileged.

Providing funds for the treatment of cancer for poor cancer patients across India

Providing support during and after treatment to poor cancer patients through

accommodation, rehabilitation, and survivor support groups.

Gathering and collating data through the population based cancer registry for Mumbai, Pune,

Nagpur and Aurangabad (ICS is the only NGO to run a cancer registry), and providing analytic

and projected reports on the incidence of cancer.

Providing a medium for the dissemination of information and research findings to the medical

fraternity through the Indian Journal of Cancer.

REPORT FOR 2015-16

CANCER AWARENESS

Our mission: To create awareness that cancer is preventable and curable

Indian Cancer Society conducts cancer awareness camps in school, colleges, corporate offices, slum and rural areas on a pan India level. At these camps, a trained ICS representative presents short films on various cancers like cervical, breast, oral and lung. In an interesting, easy to understand and friendly manner, the films explain what is cancer, its types, causes, symptoms and the lifestyle changes to protect oneself against cancer. These camps are done at a minimal cost.

RELAY FOR LIFE

Relay For Life is a community sensitization program, where we make the community aware about

cancer, its early detection and prevention. It is also a community based fundraising event; to raise the

much needed funds for underprivileged cancer patients.

The Relay For Life teams, camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path

at a local high school, a park or a ground. Events are 24 hours long, and since, Cancer never sleeps,

each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track, during the entire event.

Relay For Life comprises of an opening ceremony, followed by the survivors lap, the Luminaria

ceremony and the closing ceremony. The emotionally charged luminaria ceremony remembers those

lost to cancer.

The funds raised during this event certainly make a difference in a cancer patient’s life.
