Myths of High Incidence of Cancer in North-East India
Under a Creative Commons license
Open Access
Abstract
Cancer's spread in North-East India is a result of a combination of lifestyle choices, low or no awareness, and delayed diagnosis. Aside from that, the region lacks the necessary amenities, such as experienced oncologists and treatment infrastructure, such as hospitals, diagnostic centres, and so on, for cancer patients. In comparison to the national average of 80-110 cases per lakh population, the Northeast has a higher rate of  150-200 patients per lakh. Certain districts in the region, such as Papumpare (Arunachal Pradesh) and Aizwal (Mizoram), have the highest age-adjusted cancer incidence rates. Apart from these locations, the state of Nagaland comes in second place, with a population of little over 20 lakhs and over 1,300 cancer cases reported each year.
