The massive increase in cancer in India is enigmatic. As per the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) data, India had 14 lakh cancer patients in 2016 and this number is expected to increase. Cancer is the second leading cause of adult death in urban and fourth rural India. India’s cancer incidence is estimated at 1.15 million new patients in 2018 and is predicted to almost double as a result of demographic changes alone by 2040.
Dr Sameer Kaul, Head of Cancer Surgery, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals said, “Cancers are caused by mutations that may be inherited, induced by environmental factors, or result from DNA replication errors. Aging is the main risk factor for carcinogenesis in multicellular animal organisms including humans. The number of cancer cases in Punjab is increasing at an alarming level, especially in rural areas due to the chemicals present in the pesticides. It is important to have regular screening for cancer as prevention and early diagnosis is the best solution, significantly increasing the chances of survival. New diagnostic methods are available today in addition to biopsy and radiography that help to predict the stage of cancer and survivability of the patients.”
Kidney disease has a major effect on global health, both as a direct cause of global morbidity and mortality and as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is estimated that globally, chronic kidney disease is associated with approximately 735,000 deaths annually.
Dr (Prof) Sandeep Guleria, senior consultant, GI surgery and transplantation, Apollo Hospitals said, “The early challenges of medical and surgical complications of kidney transplantation have now been overcome and currently, there has been a gradual shift toward more transplant centers offering laparoscopic donor nephrectomy with a few like Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals also offering robotic kidney transplantation. The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension makes long-term follow-up of kidney donors in India an urgent consideration.”
