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.


The study, covering 10–18% of the population across 23 states and UTs, revealed that while women accounted for slightly more cases (51.1%), their mortality rate (45%) was lower than men’s, largely due to early detection of breast and uterine cancers.


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.
