Prevalence of Cancer in India with Respect to Leukaemia and their Factorial Relations

Abstract

Cancer is a growing burden on the healthcare system. Leukaemia is one such commonly reported cancer. In the United States, leukaemia is thought to account for roughly 3.5 percent of all cancer cases and 4 percent of cancer-related deaths. The present article examines the responsible factors for leukaemia cases in India. For the study, trends of cancer incidence (new cases per year), death, and DALYs (Disability-adjusted life years) attributable to all cancers combined and distinct kinds of malignancies. DALYs were selected as the primary measure for disease burden because it accounts for both death and morbidity and is recommended by India’s National Health Policy for illness monitoring. The preserved blood samples of prior knowledge of cases were taken for study and analysis. The article highlights the total burden of all cancers in terms of DALYs from 1990 to 2020, followed by incidence and fatalities. Patterns of 10 cancer types that account for the majority of cancer-related and leukaemia DALYs important disparities in cancer distribution between men and females in India have been discussed in the paper. Six more cancer types that are in the top ten most common incident cancers in Indian women and men but are not among the top ten cancers generating the most DALYs are also reported from the study. The age-standardised incidence rate of the major kinds of malignancies like leukaemia showed significant inter-state variability, ranging from 3.3 to 11.6 times for the four most common malignancies (lip and oral, breast, lung, and stomach). Leukaemia CML mortality has been steadily declining over the last 20 years, but AML fatalities have been steadily increasing. In conclusion, total cancer incidence did not rise as quickly as previously anticipated among aging Americans; nonetheless, myeloid leukaemia and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) rates dramatically surpassed those of other malignancies. In this paper, we have given a brief overview of the factors responsible for leukaemia and compared to other cancer cases in India, and a major portion is waited for future research.
