TYAcan Foundation

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.

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.

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.

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.
