Breast cancer statistics in india 2022

Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. Latest breast cancer data Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in women and the most common cancer overall. There were more than 2.26 million new cases of breast cancer in women in 2020. The 10 countries with the highest rates of breast cancer in women and the highest number of deaths from breast cancer in women in 2020 are shown in the tables below. ASR = age-standardised rates. These are a summary measure of the rate of disease that a population would have if it had a standard age structure. Standardisation is necessary when comparing populations that differ with respect to age because age has a powerful influence on the risk of dying from cancer.

The cancer burden varies within the regions of India posing great challenges in its prevention and control. The national burden assessment remains as a task which relies on statistical models in many developing countries, including India, due to cancer not being a notifiable disease. This study quantifies the cancer burden in India for 2016, adjusted mortality to incidence (AMI) ratio and projections for 2021 and 2025 from the National Cancer Registry Program (NCRP) and other publicly available data sources. Methods Primary data on cancer incidence and mortality between 2012 and 2016 from 28 Population Based Cancer Registries (PBCRs), all-cause mortality from Sample Registration Systems (SRS) 2012–16, lifetables and disability weight from World Health Organization (WHO), the population from Census of India and cancer prevalence using the WHO-DisMod-II tool were used for this study. The AMI ratio was estimated using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method from longitudinal NCRP-PBCR data (2001–16). The burden was quantified at national and sub-national levels as crude incidence, mortality, Years of L...

Picture this: According to a study by Globocon 2020, In India, every four minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. With some 1,78,000 new cases being diagnosed every year, the incidence of breast cancer has overtaken cervical cancer to become the most common cancer in Indian women. What is more alarming is that it is being increasingly diagnosed at a younger age (a decade earlier) in India compared to the West. With 90,000 deaths per annum, tragically, a woman loses her life to breast cancer every eight minutes in the country. For every two women diagnosed with breast cancer, one dies of it. Dr P Raghuram, director and consultant surgeon, KIMS - Ushalakshmi Centre for Breast Diseases, has been working to create awareness about the importance of early detection through several initiatives in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. He holds forth on a few myths and facts about the cancer: Breast Self-Examination (BSE) It is a regular and repetitive monthly self-examination of the breast performed by a woman at the same time each month to a set method. Here are a few changes to look out for during BSE: * A change in size — one breast may have become noticeably larger or smaller * A nipple has become inverted (pulled in) or changed its position or shape * A rash on or around the nipple * Blood-stained discharge from one or both nipples * Puckering or dimpling of the skin * A swelling under the armpit or around the collarbone * A lump or thickening in the breast that feels differ...

Explaining the 2021-2025 projections, Dr Prasant Mathur, Director, National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research (NCDIR) said men will contribute to 14.7 million Years of Life Lost (YLLs), 0.72 million Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) and 15.5 million Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) in 2025. The figure for women will be 13.6 million YLLs, 0.69 million YLDs and 14.3 DALYs. The findings of the report have been published in BMC Cancer Journal. Mizoram, Delhi and Meghalaya had the highest cancer DALYs and the most vulnerable demographic are people in the 65–69-year age group, said Dr Mathur. “The information will be useful in understanding differences in the cancer burden across the country, resource allocation, prioritization of interventions, and monitoring indicators at national and state levels," said Dr Mathur. Oncologists said increasing consumption of packaged food with harmful preservatives and junk food food could be contributory factors. “The increasing burden of cancer is quite worrisome. Earlier tobacco and alcohol consumption were considered the major reasons for cancer. Obesity, radiation from mobile phone towers, vegetables grown in toxic water like rivers near industries, adulteration in food, artificial colouring of food and vegetables also increase the risk of cancers," Dr. Anshuman Kumar, Director Surgical Oncology, Dharamshila Narayana Superspeciality Hospital. “It is a valuable addition to all our efforts to spread cancer awareness.

Current and future burden of breast cancer: global statistics for 2020 and 2040 In a new study, researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and partner institutions provide a global overview of the burden of breast cancer in 2020 and estimate the impact this disease will have in 2040. The authors predict that by 2040 the breast cancer burden will increase to more than 3 million new cases per year (an increase of 40%) and more than 1 million deaths per year (an increase of 50%). The study was published in the journal The Breast. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer type, accounting for 1 in 8 cancer diagnoses worldwide. In 2020, there were about 2.3 million new cases of breast cancer globally and about 685 000 deaths from this disease, with large geographical variations observed between countries and world regions. Breast cancer incidence rates are highest in countries that have undergone economic transition, but transitioning countries carry a disproportionate share of breast cancer deaths. IARC is part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Breast Cancer Initiative. Through this initiative, WHO, IARC, and collaborators aim to reduce breast cancer mortality by fostering timely diagnosis and adequate treatment and patient management. As a foundation for these efforts, a good understanding of global patterns and variations in the disease burden is vital. This new study emphasizes the need for global efforts to counteract the ...
