A symphony or a raga...or both Gupta S - Indian J Med Paediatr Oncol

A symphony or a raga...or both Gupta S - Indian J Med Paediatr Oncol

I read this editorial in the Indian Journal of Medical and Pediatric Oncology today. I loved the way he wrote about the different philosophies of Indian and Western classical music and compared it to the oncology scene in those settings. Formation of co-operative groups have been critical to the progress against cancer in the West. The lack of similar co-operative groups in India is a gap which needs to be urgently filled. The formation of the Indian Pediatric Oncology Group nearly 3 years ago was a welcome development. I look forward to their work.
