Lead time bias is the concept that early diagnosis may artificially inflate the survival statistics of a cancer, without really improving the natural history of the disease. Length bias is the concept that slower growing, more indolent tumors are more likely to be diagnosed by screening tests, but improvements in diagnosing more cases of indolent cancer may not translate into better patient outcomes after the implementation of screening programs. A related concern is 123: 252: 131: 472:
died in out of 2,820,179 cases. In 2013, the incidence and mortality of cancer is highest in the north-eastern region of India. In 2015, breast cancer was the most common, and stomach cancer was the leading cause of death by cancer. In 2015, breast cancer and lung cancer killed the most women and men respectively.

In 2015, more than 1,300 Indians died every day due to cancer. Between 2012 and 2014, the mortality rate due to cancer increased by approximately 6%. In 2012, there were 478,180 deaths out of 2,934,314 cases reported. In 2013 there were 465,169 deaths out of 3,016,628 cases. In 2014, 491,598 people

The leading cause of death in both males and females is lung cancer, which contributes to 26.8% of all cancer deaths. Statistics indicate that between the ages of 20 and 50 years, the incidence rate of cancer is higher amongst women whereas after 50 years of age, the incidence rate increases in men.

Although the age-related increase in cancer risk is well-documented, the age-related patterns of cancer are complex. Some types of cancer, like testicular cancer, have early-life incidence peaks, for reasons unknown. Besides, the rate of age-related increase in cancer incidence varies between cancer

In 2007, cancer was the number one cause of death, contributing to 29.6% of all deaths in Canada. In 2007,the second highest cause of death was cardiovascular diseases, resulting in 21.5% of deaths. In 2011, prostate cancer was the most common form of cancer among males (about 28% of all new cases)

In 2003, in the developed world, one in three people developed cancer during their lifetimes. If all cancer patients survived and cancer occurred randomly, the normal lifetime odds of developing a second primary cancer (not the first cancer spreading to a new site) would be one in nine. However,

in some Third World countries, incidence of cancer is expected to rise. In the Eastern Mediterranean region, for example, in 2008, cancer incidence was expected to increase by 100% to 180% in the next 15 years due to increases in life expectancy, an increasing proportion of elderly people, and the

The increased risk is believed to be primarily due to the same risk factors that produced the first cancer, such as the person's genetic profile, alcohol and tobacco use, obesity, and environmental exposures, and partly due, in some cases, to the treatment for the first cancer, which might have

In 1999, White infants had higher cancer rates than Black infants. Leukemias accounted for a substantial proportion of this difference. The average annual rate for white infants, at 48.7 per million, was 66% higher than for black infants, at 29.4 per million.
