National Institute of Cancer prevention and research (NICPR) was granted national status in 2016 acknowledging its mandate and contributions towards cancer prevention. The institute caters to prevention of prevalent cancers in the country. The thrust areas of institute include pre-cancer and cancers of the uterine cervix, breast and oral cancers. The institute introduced the concept of clinical downstaging, visual inspection of cervix with selective cytology screening and development of novel diagnostic approaches for HPV and other oncogenes for screening and early detection of cervical cancer. Other major research areas include preparatory work on India specific HPV vaccine and analysis of breast cancer susceptibility genes. The NICPR has been instrumental in the formulation of “Operational Framework Document” for cancer screening and management, recently released by MOHFW, which has been designed to carry out population based screening in 100 districts of India using cost-effective screening tools. An India-specific web portal (http://cancerindia.org.in/) has been designed to provide comprehensive knowledge to the general public on prevalent cancers in our country.
