Question
Is Cancer increasing in our Country ?
Answer
In Western countries, where accurate statistics are available, cancer is seen to increase during the last 40-50 years. Increase in human life-span, changes in life-style and increasing environmental pollution are likely to contribute to an increase in cancer incidence. In India, average 70 new cancer cases annually develop per 100, 000 population. This may appear to be a low rate, but if we consider 80 years as human life span, this estimation will be almost 16% of the population who live up to this age. Based on these, it is estimated that almost 5 lakhs of persons will develop cancer every year in the country and in any given year there will be almost 15 lakhs cancer patients. As the population increases, this number also will increase. In order to study the cancer occurrences in our country, and to monitor its trends, cancer registries have been started in several places by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
