# Apollo’s Jyoti Wadhwa calls for women-focused cancer care 2026-08-12T08:46:08+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Dr Jyoti Wadhwa, principal lead of medical oncology at Apollo Athenaa Women's Cancer Centre, says treating cancer in women requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond the tumour. Care must address fertility, hormonal health, body image, mental well-being and family responsibilities. Breast and gynaecological cancers present unique challenges, such as preserving eggs before chemotherapy and offering breast reconstruction after surgery. Complications like lymphedema, early menopause and osteoporosis need monitoring. Social and economic factors often delay diagnosis. The article argues that women-focused cancer care is a public health imperative, not a niche concern. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: breast cancer, cancer care, fertility preservation, gynaecological cancers, mental health, women’s health Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/apollos-jyoti-wadhwa-calls-for-women-focused-cancer-care/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
