Dr. Srinubabu Gedela, MD of OMICS Group which is organizing the Global Cancer Conference and Medicare Summit in the same release has expressed his concern over the growing number of cancer incidents globally. 50-60% of cancer patients are unable to complete the entire treatment cycle and are dying due to lack of awareness on cancer prevention and early detection techniques. Despite advancements in the cancer diagnosis and treatment, the number of cancer cases is on rise worldwide. While 10.1 million new cancer cases were registered in 2000, contributing to 53% of global cancer cases, the number rose to 14.1 million by 2012, killing 8.2 million adults.
Cancer is one of the leading causes for death in India accounting 8% of total number of deaths. While cancer in the Oral Cavity and Lungs is prominent among men, Cervical and Breast Cancers are most common among women in India, accounting for over 50% of all cancer deaths in the country. While there were only 797,657 new cancer cases registered during the year 2001in India, the number is expected to reach 1,219,649 by 2016. There were 63,735 cancer cases in 2001 in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana and the number is expected to reach 97,015 by 2016 or more.
