TI  - Cancer Incidence and Mortality: District Cancer Registry, Trivandrum, South 
      India.
PG  - 1485-1491
AB  - Background: Cancer is emerging as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in low 
      and middle-income countries. Cancer registry figures help for planning and 
      delivery of health services. This paper provided the first results of cancer 
      incidence and mortality [Crude (CR) and age-standardized (ASR)] rates 
      (world-standard population) of Trivandrum district, South India and compared with 
      other registries under the network of National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP), 
      Government of India. Materials and Methods: Trivandrum district cancer registry 
      encompasses a population of 3.3 million, compiles data from nearly 75 sources 
      (hospitals and diagnostic laboratories) and included under the NCRP in 2012. 
      During 2012-2014, registry recorded 15,649 incident cases and 5667 deaths. 
      Proportion of microscopic diagnosis was 85% and 'Death certificate only' was 8%. 
      Results: Total cancer incidence (CRs) rates were 161 and 154 (ASR: 142.2 and 126) 
      and mortality rates were 66 and 49 (ASR: 54 and 37) per 105 males and females 
      respectively. Common cancers in males were lung (ASR:19), oral cavity (ASR:15), 
      colo-rectum (ASR:11.2), prostate (ASR:10.2) and lymphoma (ASR:7) and in females, 
      breast (ASR:36), thyroid (ASR:13.4), cervix-uteri (ASR:7.3), ovary (ASR:7) and 
      colo-rectum (ASR:7). Nationally, the highest CRs for breast, prostate, 
      colo-rectum, corpus-uteri and urinary bladder cancers and low incidence of 
      cervix-uteri cancer were observed in Trivandrum. Conclusion: Cancer incidence 
      (CR) in Trivandrum was the highest in both genders in India (except Aizwal). This 
      is mainly due to the highest lifeexpectancy in Kerala. Also, an epidemiologic 
      transition in cancer pattern is taking place and is changing to more similar to 
      "western" jurisdictions.
