TYAcan Foundation

TYAcan Foundation was proud to be present at CANREHAB 2026 — the 4th International Multi Disciplinary Conference on Cancer Rehabilitation, held at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai.

Archana Singh represented TYAcan alongside distinguished colleagues including Dr. Savita Goswami, Dr. Purna Kurkure, Dr. Vandana Dhamankar, and leaders from the Indian Cancer Society.

A conference built around the theme "Expanding Horizons, Enhancing Evidence, Empowering Lives" three words that sit at the heart of everything TYAcan stands for.

For us, rehabilitation is not the end of the cancer journey. For a 17-year-old, it is the beginning of the rest of their life.

Grateful to be part of this conversation at the highest level.

Arvind Bamnia is 14 years old. He lives in a small village in Ujjain District. He had lymphoma.

He received a bone marrow transplant — and he did not have to pay for it.

Because treatment is not a privilege. It is a right.

On Ambedkar Jayanti, TYAcan reaffirms that every child in the world deserves access to a cure for six childhood cancers:

Lymphoma · Eye Cancer · Leukemia · Hodgkin Disease · Kidney Cancer · Brain Tumor

Babasaheb spent his life fighting for equity and social justice. Let us carry that forward — into our hospitals, our policies, and our communities.

No child should be denied a cure because of where they were born.

We are proud to share a significant milestone in patient care and recovery.

Arvind, a 14-year-old diagnosed with relapsed lymphoma, has successfully undergone the first-ever autologous stem cell transplant at RD Gardi Medical College, Ujjain, and has now been discharged.

He looks forward to returning to school in Tarana tehsil and resuming a normal, healthy life.

This achievement reflects the power of advanced treatment, timely intervention, and unwavering resilience.

Congratulations to Dr. Pappuji Mehar, Associate Professor, Radiation Oncology, AIMS Raipur, on being awarded the TYAcan–ISNO Umabai Chitalkar Gold Medal for the best paper on Young Persons’ Brain Cancer at the 17th ISNOCON, Pune (05 April 2026).

This marks the sixth consecutive year that TYAcan has recognised and encouraged original research in Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) brain tumours by young investigators.

Celebrating research, innovation, and the commitment to improving outcomes for young cancer patients.

From battling a life-threatening brain tumour at just 3 years old to winning a gold medal at the National Para Taekwondo Championship, Gunika Sharma’s journey is a true testament to courage and resilience.

Her story reminds us that a diagnosis does not define a life—it can become the beginning of an extraordinary journey.

At TYAcan Foundation, we celebrate every warrior who turns their fight into strength and their survival into inspiration.

Every diagnosis is more than a medical condition, it’s a life changed, a family affected, and a journey that no one should face alone.

At TYAcan Foundation, we stand together with patients, families, and caregivers—offering support, strength, and compassion every step of the way.

Because together, we can make the journey a little easier.

On the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami, may the values of courage, compassion, and righteousness inspire us all.
May this day bring strength to those facing challenges, hope to those in need, and healing to every heart. Let us continue to stand together in the spirit of care and resilience.
Wishing everyone peace, health, and positivity this Ram Navami. 🙏✨

Eid Mubarak

Happy Gudi Padwa from the TYAcan family

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers—yet many cases are detected late.

Stay aware. Know the signs. Get screened on time. 🎗️

A healthy lifestyle and early detection can save lives.

This Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and courage of every woman especially those fighting and surviving cancer. Your determination inspires hope and reminds us that together, we can overcome even the toughest battles.

Teenagers often remind us of powerful life lessons — courage to face uncertainty, the confidence to challenge the status quo, and the ability to take thoughtful risks while staying true to who they are.

Their resilience and authenticity inspire us to rethink, adapt, and grow every day.
