TI  - Time trend in breast and cervix cancer of women in India - (1990-2003).
PG  - 777-80
AB  - The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) started a National Cancer Registry 
      Programme (NCRP) in the year 1982 with the main objective of generating reliable 
      data on the magnitude and pattern of cancer in India. There are about 20 
      Population Based Cancer Registries (PBCR) which are currently functioning under 
      the network of NCRP. The present paper aims to provide the time trends in the 
      incidence of breast and cervix cancer among females of India. The incidence data 
      collected by Bangalore, Barshi, Bhopal, Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai over the period 
      1990 to 2003 formed the sources of data. In the year 1990, cervix was the leading 
      site of cancer followed by breast cancer in the registries of Bangalore (23.0% vs 
      15.9%), Bhopal (23.2% vs 21.4%), Chennai (28.9% vs 17.7%) and Delhi (21.6% vs 
      20.3%), while in Mumbai breast was the leading site of cancer (24.1% vs 16.0%). 
      By the years 2000-3, the scenario had changed and breast had overtaken as the 
      leading site of cancer in all the registries except in Barshi (16.9% vs 36.8%). 
      The time trend analysis for these sites suggested a significant decreasing trend 
      in the case of cervix in Bangalore and Delhi registries, while the registries of 
      Bhopal, Chennai and Mumbai did not show any significant changes. However, in the 
      case of breast cancer, a significant increasing trend was observed in Bhopal, 
      Chennai and Delhi registries with Bangalore and Mumbai registries demonstrating 
      no such significant changes. Histopathologic confirmation for both malignancies 
      was found to be more than 80% in these registries. It is concluded that in India 
      the cervix cancer rates are decreasing while breast cancer is on the increase.
