Abstract

Piyush Kumar, Advocate Anupama

The data on cancer is provided by various population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) and hospital-based cancer registries (HBCRs) in India. This article contains 4 years (2018-2021) incidence data analysis from the network of cancer registries in India working under the National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP). This study examined the cancer incidence, from 28 PBCRs and 58 HBCRs. The annual growth rates of cancer incidence were calculated by dividing current year incidence from previous year incidence and multiplying it with 100. This study provides the status and trends of cancer incidence in India. This snapshot short study will help decision makers to think for action to improve measures of cancer prevention and control to achieve the sustainable development goals.
