CANCER IS RAPIDLY EMERGING AS ONE OF INDIA’S BIGGEST HEALTH CHALLENGES, WITH NEW DATA SHOWING THAT NEARLY ONE IN EVERY 11 INDIANS IS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING THE DISEASE DURING THEIR LIFETIME.(PHOTO).


Cancer is rapidly emerging as one of India’s biggest health challenges, with new data showing that nearly one in every 11 Indians is at risk of developing the disease during their lifetime. Between 2015 and 2019, India recorded 15.6 lakh new cancer cases in 2024 alone, with 8.74 lakh deaths.

Among men, oral cancer has now overtaken lung cancer as the most common type, driven by a combination of tobacco and rising alcohol consumption. Alarmingly, the Northeast continues to report the highest incidence rates, with cervical, lung, and oral cancers especially prevalent among women.


Health experts warn that lifestyle risks and limited early detection remain key barriers to reducing the growing cancer burden.
