TI  - The magnitude of cancer cervix in India.
PG  - 219-21
AB  - The Indian Council of Medical Research initiated a network of cancer registries 
      under the National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP) in 1981 and data collection 
      commenced in these registries from January 1982. The results on incidence rates 
      provided by the Population Based Cancer Registries (PBCRs) have shown the 
      variation in patterns of cancer in general and that of cancer cervix in 
      particular. Cancer of the cervix has been the most important cancer in women in 
      India, over past two decades. All the urban Population Based Cancer Registries at 
      Bangalore, Bhopal, Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai have shown a statistically 
      significant decrease in incidence rates of this site of cancer. Since over 70 per 
      cent of the Indian population resides in the rural areas, cancer cervix still 
      constitutes the number one cancer in either sex. Based on the data of the PBCRs, 
      the estimated number of new cancers during 2007 in India was 90.708. The relative 
      five year survival reported some time earlier averaged 48.7 per cent.
