  1. CANCER MAGNITUDE OF PROBLEM DR C.RAMESH Professor & Head, Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics Kidwai Memorial Institute Of Oncology, BANGALORE

  2. GLOBAL PROBLEM OF CANCER

  3. COMMON CANCERS : GLOBAL * Related to Infection All the three common cancers above ( both developed & Developing) are also leading causes of cancer death. 15 % of all cancers – infection related ( 3 times more in developing countries)

  4. CANCER IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES INCREASING • Deaths from infectious diseases • Childhood mortality • Longevity • Adoption of Western Life style • Cigarette Smoking • Higher consumption of saturated fat • Consumption of Calorie dense foods • Physical activity Survival rates poorer in developing countries (lack of availability of early detection and treatment services)

  5. CANCER PROBLEM IN INDIA • Estimated Population : 1,048 million • Estimated New Cancer Cases : 9.50 lakhs 4.3 Males 5.2 Females • Estimated TRC : 2,66,000 • Estimated Breast Cancer : 1,15,251 • Estimated Cervix Cancer : 1,34,420 (27% of world burden)

  6. ESTIMATED TUMOUR BURDEN IN INDIA - 2007 • OVER 8,06,000 INCIDENT (NEW) CASES OF CANCER • ABOUT 2.8 MILLION P REVALENT CANCER CASES • ABOUT 5,60,000 CANCER DEATHS OCCUR EACH YEAR

  7. MEN: CANCERS OF LUNG, ORAL CAVITY, PHARYNX, OESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH WOMEN: CANCERS OF CERVIX, BREAST, OVARY, ORAL CAVITY AND OESOPHAGUS COMMON CANCERS IN INDIA

  8. CANCER CASES IN BANGALORE • Population Covered: 7.2 Millions • Cancer cases : Total 6785 cases Males: 3068 Females: 3717 AAR (Per 100,000): 118 for males and 132 for females Common Cancers: Males: Lung, Stomach, Prostate, Oesophagus and Liver Females: Breast, Cervix, Ovary, Oral cavity and Oesophagus

  9. TRENDCancer of Breast is showing significantly rising trend among urban women and Cervical cancer incidence is gradually declining

  10. TOBACCO RELATED CANCERS(TRC) TRC Constitute half of all cancers in males and one-third in females, i.e. Overall about 35-40 percent of cancers are related to the use of tobacco

  11. POOR SURVIVAL - REASONS Over 75 percent of the cases report for diagnostic and treatment services in advanced stages of the disease resulting in poor survival and high mortality rates

  12. AGE – ADJUSTED INCIDENCE RATES OF CANCER PER 100,000: 2010 * Rural based cancer Registry

  13. TUMOUR BURDEN -KARNATAKA Over 45,000 new cases of cancers were estimated to have occured in Karnataka during the year 2008 and about 150,000 Prevelent cancer cases

  14. TUMOUR BURDEN AT KMIO About one-third of the cancer cases of Karnataka are treated at KMIO

  15. PATIENT LOAD AT KMIO • Over 17,000 new cases are registered every year • Daily about 800 patients attend this hospital for their follow-up treatment • About 20% of the patients are from outside Karnataka

  16. COMMON CANCERS AT KMIO Males: Pharynx, Oral Cavity, Leukaemias, Oesophagus and Lung Females: Cervix uteri, Breast, Oral Cavity Oesophagus and Ovary

  17. CUMULATIVE RISK • The cumulative risk among Bangaloreans was found to be 15% among males and about 17% among females. In other words, one in six persons in either sex has the risk of developing cancer in their lifetime.

  18. AGE(IN YEARS) AND CANCER

  19. Cancer deaths in the UK * Diet includes overweight and Obesity

  20. Tobacco Epidemic : 5 million deaths due to tobacco use 1.42 Million resulted from cancer 8,50,000 deaths due to lung cancer 100 Million deaths – 20th Century 1 Billion deaths – 21st Century ( Projected) majority will be developing countries

  21. Overweight, Obesity and Cancer Risk • Being overweight or obese increases risk of several cancers including colon and breast • Two – thirds of men and half of women in Britain are overweight • An estimated 13,000 cases of cancer could be prevented each year in the UK if no one had BMI greater than 25

  22. WARNING SIGNALS FOR CANCER • Change in Bowel / bladder habits • A sore that does not heal • Unusual bleeding or discharge • Thickening or lump in breast / elsewhere • Indigestion or difficulty to swallow • Obvious change in wart / mole • Nagging cough or Hoarseness of voice

  23. Cancer Prevention 2/3 of all cancers may be prevented by • Avoiding tobacco • Avoiding/limiting alcohol Consumption • Eating adequate fruits and vegetables daily • Knowing family history of cancer • Limiting exposure sun/radiation

  24. Cancer Prevention (contd..) • Choosing healthy food reduces cancer risk by 30 – 40% • Eating a low fat diet • Regular exercising • Maintaining healthy weight throughout life

  25. Screening for cancer • Early detection provides the best opportunity for successful treatment • Cancer screening examinations are medical tests performed when you’re healthy • Reliable screening tests are available for certain cancers Ex: Cervix, Breast, Colon etc.

  26. The best way to serve is to manifest it by actions - St. Gregory Thank you
