Understanding Cancer in India

India is a country facing a serious problem that is quite scary because the statistics show that more and more people are being affected by cancer. In 2022, the total of new cancer cases reported in India was estimated to be 14,61,427, which is equal to the crude incidence rate of 100.4 per 100,000 people. The fact that one in every nine people in Asia will develop cancer at some point during their lifetime is astounding. Lung and breast cancer are the cancers most common in men and women. Childhood cancers, which may include lymphoid leukaemia, are also major contributors to the total number of cancer-infected patients in India and the world. Data predict a stupendous increment of 12.8% in cancer disease by 2025 as compared to 2020, thus increasing the need to accomplish the very arduous mission of offering top-quality cancer care medical services in India but at an affordable price which is practised every day by Health29 in India.

Leading Cancer Cases by Gender

Among men, lung cancer can be a major issue, comprising 10.6% of all the registered cases. The next most prevalent categories are mouth cancers, (8.4%) prostate cancers (6.1%), cancers of the tongue (5.9%) and stomach cancers (4.8%). The most common form of cancer among females is breast cancer at 28.8% of all cases, followed by cervical cancer (10.6%), ovarian (6.2%), corpus uteri (3.7%), and lung (3.7%).
