Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
All around the world, cancer manifesting in any form is one of the leading causes for death1 . In our country approximately 1 million cancer cases are detected every year and the annual deaths due to cancer is around 0.63 million2 . While lung and oral cancers are the commonest cancer for men, breast and cervical cancers are the commonest cancers for women in our country.3 Our study was undertaken to find the incidence of cancer burden in an urban cancer centre in Western Odisha. A retrospective analysis was done involving collection of data of a three year period from 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2017. Total reported number of cancer cases during this period was 2278. There was an increase of 4.80% cancer burden in the second year and 7.33% in the third year in comparison to the first year. Females were more affected with malignancies than males. Also the study showed that cancer cervix with 22.30% incidence was the most common cancer followed by Carcinoma Breast (21.38%). We have also endeavoured to throw some light on the relations between higher incidences and aspects like geographical areas, sex and age for creating awareness and targeted solutions.
