Bihar and Jharkhand, together make up for a major chunk of the Hindi Heartland of India. With a population of about 13 crores, the two states have a burden of about 2.5 lacs cancer patients at any given time and approximately 80,000 new cancer patients are added every year to this pool. In comparison to the increasing number of cancer patients the existing few, and small cancer treatment units were highly inadequate to cater to their needs. This area was also lacking a comprehensive cancer centre for a long time where all the treatment facilities could be available under one roof... Realising the huge burden of the cancer patients and lack of adequate treatment facilities in this part of India, the famous Mahavir Mandir Trust started the Mahavir Cancer Institute & Research Centre (MCSRC), at Patna for the first time. It is a comprehensive state-of-the art charitable cancer institute with all the treatment facilities under one roof. Located at Phulwarisharif, it is 2 KM from Patna..
