An initiative of Indian Cancer Society Delhi

Burden of Cancer – India

• Each year 900,000 new cases throng the nation’s hospitals, adding an unbearable burden on seriously over stretched resources.

• Experts predict that by 2020, the number of new cases will grow to an enormous 15 lakh new cases per annum.

• Most doctors acknowledge that with regular screening and awareness, 70% of all cancer is avoidable. The rider is “regular screening, leading to early detection and early recovery”.

• India is the third largest producer and the second largest consumer of tobacco.

• Head and neck cancers, lung cancer, cervical cancer which are easily curable are common in the Indian Picture.



Prevention strategies - Reducing the burden of cancer

•Encourage understanding of risk factors-More than 30% of cancer could be prevented by modifying or avoiding key risk factors.

• Early detection –A further one-third of the cancer burden could be decreased if cases were detected and treated early Nearly 80% of patients with advanced disease have a survival rate of 20%, while those who come in early stages of cancer have a healthy 80% survival rate. The aim is to detect the cancer before it has spread.

• GOAL: To spread awareness on cancer and to make cancer screening and prevention services available to the unreached.
