This study analyzed 2509 cancer cases in Eastern Rajasthan, finding uro-genital tract cancers were most common. Prostate, bladder, and breast cancers showed high incidence, necessitating further etiological research.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cancer patterns vary significantly by geographic region.
  • Understanding regional cancer profiles is crucial for targeted public health interventions.
  • Eastern Rajasthan lacked comprehensive cancer data prior to this study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the epidemiological patterns of various malignancies in Eastern Rajasthan.
  • To establish a baseline cancer profile for the region.
  • To identify significant variations in cancer incidence compared to national data.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 2509 histologically confirmed cancer cases from 1990.
  • Data collected from government and private hospitals in Eastern Rajasthan.

  • Categorization of cancers by site, patient demographics (age, sex), and incidence rates.

    • Main Results:

    • Uro-genital tract cancers constituted 28.7% of all malignancies.
    • Prostate (11.40%) and urinary bladder (9.1%) cancers showed the highest incidence in India.
    • Female breast cancer (19.4%) incidence exceeded cervical cancer (18.2%).
    • Higher frequencies of penile, testicular, bone, skin, anorectal cancers, and lymphoma were observed.
    • Lower incidences of stomach, esophageal, and lung cancers were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Eastern Rajasthan exhibits a distinct cancer profile with a high burden of uro-genital and breast cancers.
    • The region shows notable variations in cancer incidence compared to national trends.
    • Further research into etiological factors is urgently needed to explain these observed variations.
