WHY CANCER CASES INCREASING?

[volkswagen]

Cancer Statistics in India:

 

• Estimated number of people living with the disease: around 2.5 million

• Every year, new cancer patients registered: Over 7 lakh

• Cancer-related deaths: 5,56,400

 

Deaths in the age group between 30-69 years :

• Total: 3,95,400 (71% of all cancer related deaths)

• Men: 2,00,100

• Women: 1,95,300

 

Cancers of oral cavity and lungs in males and cervix and breast in females account for over 50% of all cancer deaths in India 

The top five cancers in men and women account for 47.2% of all cancers; these cancers can be prevented, screened for and/or detected early and treated at an early stage [10]. This could significantly reduce the death rate from these cancers.
