The Unseen Battle: Rethinking Cancer Treatment & Society’s Role

Her call for empathy, ethical reform, and equitable care resonates deeply.
Indian Masterminds Stories

IAS officer Urvashi Prasad’s powerful Twitter post sheds light on the brutal reality of cancer treatment and its societal implications. Despite decades of research, many cancer treatments still cause immense suffering, offering only brief extensions of life. Chemotherapy and radiation, she points out, feel more like medieval torture with modern labels.

The harsh disparity in healthcare systems, where the rich have access to the best treatments while the poor face an uphill battle, is impossible to ignore. Universal healthcare is still a distant dream for many. Prasad also emphasizes that cancer isn’t just a physical battle—it’s a mental and emotional one, compounded by stigma and isolation.

Her call for empathy, ethical reform, and equitable care resonates deeply. It’s time we reframe the narrative and push for a compassionate approach, not just for the affluent but for everyone affected by this disease.

Check out her tweet here-

The fight against cancer needs to be more than just awareness—it needs action. #NationalCancerAwarenessDay #Cancer #CancerAwareness #DoBetter
