Cancer treatment in India

• According to the World Health Organisation
  (WHO), the second leading cause of death globally
  is Cancer. This disease is responsible for the
  death of an estimated 9.6 million lives globally
  last year, making 1 in every 6 deaths as
  victims to cancer.
• When cells in a human body grow old or damaged,
  they die and new cells replace them. However,
  when cancer develops, this orderly process is
  subverted. As cells become abnormal, old or
  damaged they continue to survive and hide from
  the immune system preventing them from being
  flushed out of the body.

Cancer cells vary from normal cells in numerous
ways that allow them to thrive out of control and
turn invasive. Being less specialized than normal
cells, they continue to divide without stopping,
often evading the immune system, tissues and a
network of organs.

Most common types of Cancer

• It is estimated that there are more than 100
  types of cancer. Cancers are often named for the
  tissues or organs where the cancers originate or
  form. For example, brain cancer starts in cells
  of the brain and lung cancer starts in cells of
  the lung.

The most common cancers are assessed on the
number of people diagnosed to have cancerous
cells in their body. The most common types of
cancer globally are tabled by the number of
people affected depending on where they originate
in a human body. These are cancer in breast,
colorectal, prostate, skin and stomach.

Statistics of cancer incidence in India and
worldwide

• According to the World Cancer Research Fund
  (WCRF) in 2018, there were 18 million cancer
  cases noted around the world. Of these 8.5
  million cases were in women and 9.5 million in
  men. The WHO in its statistics has aggregated
  that approximately 70 percent of deaths due to
  cancer occur in low and middle-income countries.
  Among them, one-third of deaths are due to
  behavioral and dietary habits. Lung cancer was
  the most common cancer in men, contributing to
  15.5 percent of the new cases registered in 2018.
  While breast cancer was the most common among
  women, contributing 25.4 percent of the new cases
  registered in 2018. India ranks third in cancer,
  preceded by China and the US. In India, the
  number of cancer victims and new cases has
  doubled over the last 26 years. A study by the
  Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) found
  breast cancer in Indian women to have had the
  highest increase among all cancer therapy areas.
  More than half (60 percent) patients with breast
  cancer have been diagnosed in advanced stages,
  making it a disease burden and an economic burden
  on people.

• India has lost close to USD6.7 billion in 2012 to
  the deadly disease, totaling to 0.36 percent of
  its total GDP. Dr Pavan Kumar, a medical
  oncologist, at Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer
  Hospital and Research Institute said The high
  number of cancer patients in India can be
  attributed to three things, firstly population
  boom and higher life expectancy, early
  screening of cancer and finally pollution in
  India and the widespread use of pesticides.
• American Oncology Institute President
• and CEO Dr. Lloyd Nazareth weighed in
• on the issue that 17 percent of its India
• population consumes tobacco, there is a
• 50 increase in alcohol use over the
• age of 15 in the last 20 years, and these
• deteriorating risk factors could raise the
• annual incidence by 300,000 new cases
• each year.

Cancer treatment

• Cancer therapy is personalized, so the treatments
  often vary from one person to another. With
  growing awareness and early detection of cancer,
  the disease has found its way to be discussed
  openly at dinner tables and workplace Continual
  development and advancement in treating cancer
  have shown progress, with Finland having
  outstanding treatment outcomes compared globally
  to other countries.
• The main type of treatment involves cancer
  surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone
  therapy. Lately, various immunological therapies
  using smart drug delivery has also been widely
  used.
• In a country with the population only second to
  China, there are only 62 dedicated cancer
  hospitals in India, which includes both regional
  and national facilities according to the
  National Cancer Grid. Oncologists say the
  available dedicated cancer care facilities fall
  short in tackling the burden of treating patients
  in the future.

Cost and actual causation

• Dr. Sajjan Rajpurohit, a senior medical
  oncologist at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and
  Research Centre, commented on bringing in cost
  efficiency in treating cancer as the need of
  the hour. He notes on an average the standard
  cancer treatment in private healthcare facilities
  and hospitals range between rupees 5 lakhs to 15
  lakhs. However, when adding a precision
  medication, the newer immune treatment can add
  drug cost up to rupees one crore.
