<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/topic/ratan-tata">Ratan Tata</a> has in the recent past invested in several <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/shout-out-to-entrepreneurs-ratan-tata-is-back-and-ready-to-invest-in-your-startup/articleshow/57018459.cms">local startups</a> through his personal investment vehicle RNT Associates. Now, the septuagenarian wants <keyword id="6383155" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tata-Trusts">Tata Trusts</keyword>, a group of charitable institutions that own 66% of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/breaking-news-n-chandrasekaran-is-the-new-tata-sons-chairman/articleshow/56500469.cms">Tata Sons</a>, to invest in <keyword id="910850" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="social-enterprises">social enterprises</keyword>. As of now, these enterprises can only get grants from Tata Trusts. 
 
For this, a three-tier structure is being set up, which would fund socially relevant businesses before they receive support from Tata Sons; following this, they would catch the attention of several other investors.

"I have Mr Tata's support to set up a new fund that will straddle the middle path between philanthropy and venture capital. The fund will sit outside the Tata Trusts' architecture but will invest in socially relevant and viable businesses incubated within the trust," Manoj Kumar, head of innovation at the Tata Trusts, told ET. 
 
Tata Trusts has its innovation centres in Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which would be used as the first layer in this structure. 
 
Socially relevant business ideas will get funds through grants that these institutions get, and the ones that will prove their worth would then get transferred to the Foundation for Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship (FISE), under Kumar's leadership. 
 
FISE will be the second layer of the structure. 
 
The third layer would then be a fund for enterprises with maximum potential for social change.

<keyword id="6355291" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cancer">Cancer</keyword> is defined as the uncontrollable growth of cells that invade and cause damage to surrounding tissue. <keyword id="67539" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Oral-cancer">Oral cancer</keyword>, which includes cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and pharynx (throat), can be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. 
 At a press conference held at <keyword id="1807026" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tata-Memorial-Hospital-in-Mumbai">Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai</keyword>, doctors have come up with a new breakthrough that could cut down the risk of death for oral cancer patients by 36%. Besides, this latest technique would also prevent recurrence of the disease by 55%. This was revealed in a Times of India report. 
 
Now, if you are wondering what the innovation is all about? Well, the news daily reveals that it’s an 'extra cut' - a dissection in medical parlance - along the neck to detect if the patient's cancer had spread from his/her oral cavity to the neck. The cut would be a prophylaxis - a preventive medicine - against aggressive cancer forms and prevent the need for chemotherapy or radiation. 
 
"When a patient comes with a lesion in his oral cavity, be it his\her tongue or jaw bone, it's not possible to say whether the cancer has progressed beyond to the neck region. This is especially in the early stages of oral cancer,'' said Dr Pankaj Chaturvedi, one of the other investigators. 
 
Currently, patients may choose to not undergo neck dissection and wait until some cancerous bulge - basically, a recurrence - appears in his/her neck. Since a long time, the issue of whether or not early stage oral cancer patients should undergo a neck dissection remained debatable. 
 
According to the TOI report, “On one hand, the dissection is a delicate operation because the cut is made near important nerves (for facial expression and spine), veins and arteries running along the neck. On the other hand, if patients choose to not undergo a neck dissection, they may be at the risk of not diagnosing the cancer's complete spread early enough. This could impact their quality of life and, more importantly, their survival.” 
 
However, Dr Chaturvedi asserted that "this research has put an end to this debate. A neck dissection can save more lives. All it requires is 30 minutes extra on the operation table.'' 
 
The findings, which also appeared in the latest edition of New England Journal of Medicine, were announced by <keyword id="237719" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tata-Memorial-Centre">Tata Memorial Centre</keyword>'s Dr Anil D'Cruz at an ongoing meeting of American Society of Clinical Oncology at Chicago on May 31.

"You bring your zeal, your vigor, your integrity and most importantly your hard work. It is because of you that we can derive and obtain the opportunity and the privilege to serve our community and through that, our nation," Tata wrote in a letter on the occasion of the 178th birth anniversary of Tata Trusts founder Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata. It’s also the 125th year of the philanthropic organization. 
 
It was in 1892 that Tata Trusts was set up, in the form of the JN Tata Endowment, followed by Sir Ratan Tata trust in 1919, Sir Dorabji Tata Trust in 1932, the JRD Tata Trust in 1944, the Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust Jamsetji Tata Trust in 1974 and lastly, the Tata Education and Development Trust in 2008. 
 
The trust deals in healthcare, water, rural upliftment, energy, education, relief, rehabilitation and individual grants, and boasts of the creation of institutes such as the Indian Institute of Science, Tata Memorial Hospital, Tata Institute of Social Sciences and the National Centre for the Performing Arts, all reputed names in their respective fields.

Four months later, on February 21 2017, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/this-is-how-new-chairman-chandrasekaran-is-going-to-enhance-operational-expertise-at-tata/articleshow/57307123.cms">N.
