Cancer is a major public health problem. Statistics for cancer in
India revealed that one in every 12 women and one in every 12 men
up to 64 years of age are expected to get some form of cancer in
their lifetimes. Cancer incidence in India is rising steadily with
800,000 new cases predicted in 2001.The WHO estimates that 6
million people worldwide die annually from cancer. Cancer incidence
in Indian men is about half to one third of the incidence recorded
in USA and Europe. Incidence rates in Indian women are about half
of that experience of USA and European women. The estimated number
of new cancer cases for year 1992 was 644,600 and during the year
2001, which was about 806,000 cases. Now the survival rate of
cancer is increasing steadily. By the 1930s, only one out of five
cancer patients survived five or more years after treatment and
were considered cured. Now the survival rate has improved and
fiveyear survival from all cancer is almost 62% and excluding lung
cancer it is 69%.
