Dr.N.K.Warrier also intends to use this App to create awareness about lifestyle changes

leading to cancer,effects of tobacco and influences of diet on cancer as prevention and early

diagnosis is any day better than cure. He feels that the emphasis should be given to

Prevention and Early Diagnosis as well in addition to curative methods. This would be better

for the patient,care giver and state by reducing extent and morbidity of the disease ,less

loss of man hours and most importantly much reduced expenses.

Dr. Warrier finds the intense doctor patient relationship rewarding and also enjoys keeping

up with the latest in diagnostic and treatment aspects of Cancer. His personal philosophy is

that an oncologist’s responsibilities go beyond the management of Cancer and include

educating patients about their disease and treatment and also helping them to meet the

financial requirements for their treatment. He believes that no one with a curable

malignancy should be denied treatment just because they can’t afford the treatment.

This App aims to be a companion for the patient and care
