Today is World Cancer Day, and the increasing number of cancer cases in the Northeast is a matter of concern. Experts believe there is a need for detailed studies to find out the causes behind the high prevalence in the region. Experts also stressed the need to eradicate tobacco use, one of the key reasons behind the killer disease.
Last year, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and National Centre for Disease Informatics & Research (NCDIR), Bengaluru, had projected that the number of new cancer cases in the Northeast region is likely to increase to 57,131 by 2025, in comparison to the estimated 50,317 in 2020.
These estimates are based on cancer data compiled by eleven Population-Based Cancer Registries (PBCRs) in all eight states.
