In an effort to enrich and prolong the life of cancer patients through cost-effective therapies, Shantha has launched the CYTOCREST initiative.
Under this initiative, Shantha will introduce several new generation Oncocare products which will be either developed in-house or through alliances with major pharmaceutical companies.
The whole gamut of therapies in cancer care has been planned under the flagship of CYTOCREST which includes Chemotherapeutics, Biological Therapy and Supportive Therapy, for marketing in India only.
