India’s major medical panel has revealed that five out of five people die of cancer after being diagnosed.

The latest report of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) published in the Lancet has found that cancer incidence has increased in the last decade, more in women than men, and this trend will continue to grow in the coming two decades, researchers have written based on data presented by the global cancer observatory (Globocon).

Researchers said in the Lancet study, “About three out of every five people in India are killed after the diagnosis of cancer, according to the 2022 incidents (1,413,316) according to the mortality rate (916,827) ratio,”.

Globocon is an online database that provides anticipation of phenomenon, mortality and prevalence for 36 cancer types including non-melonoma skin cancer (NMSC) for 185 countries or regions worldwide.

The ICMR study using globocon data showed that India is globally after the US and China, and the second in the mortality after China and second in cancer. While women are more affected by breast cancer, lung cancer causes the most deaths in both sexes.

However, India’s high population actually reveals its overall cancer rate at least. Researchers have written that older adults have to face a lot of risk than young people, and since the small population of India will be in the coming decades, the rate of cancer is expected to increase, the researchers have written.

The analysis mentions that in India, individuals of childhood and reproductive age groups have the lowest risk of developing and dying from cancer compared to the middle -aged and slight healing age groups.

“This data indicates that in the coming years, India may face the burden of a malignant cancer. Cancer mortality in India has increased for the last two decades.”

They speculate that the mortality between 2022 and 2050 is expected to rise from 64.7 to 109.6%. Comprehensive studies examined 36 types of cancer and four different age groups (childhood, reproductive age, moderate age and zeriatric age) in India.

Between 2012 and 2022, cancer incidents increased by 36%, increased from 1.01 million in 2012 to 1.38 million in 2022. Similarly, cancer -related deaths also demonstrated an increase of 30.3%, increased from 0.68 million in 2012 to 0.89 million in 2022.

“Centered in middle-aged and slightly age groups with cancer incidence and mortality with an important part (70%), the country has been designed to face a malignant challenge in the coming years, which is due to infection for the middle-aged and slight medical groups to the current reproductive-age population,” authors wrote.

According to the authors, the findings of the study highlight the intervention and pressure to create strategies centered to address the increasing cancer burden in India.
