Cancer research in India: Proceedings of an expert consensus panel

Abstract

We conducted an “Expert Consensus Panel” with transdisciplinary experts to deliberate on a ‘Weakness, Opportunities, Threats, and Strengths’ analysis with Underlying Planning for cancer research in India, to envision a way forward. The panel brought together leading experts from India to deliberate on population, clinical, and molecular research priorities in cancer. The deliberations focused on specific approaches necessary to scale up context-specific cancer research, while proposing a roadmap for the future integration of population science, clinical research and trials, and molecular research, including genomics, with the healthcare system for clinical translation and policy implementation.
