Telangana and 3 other states hold higher burden of breast cancer cases - ICMR Study
According to ICMR research, the incidence of breast cancer was greater in tamil Nadu, Telangana, Karnataka, and delhi than in eastern and northeastern regions. The study also predicted a "substantial rise" in the disease burden in india by 2025. The study, which was released earlier this month, examined the state-level burden of breast cancer in india from 2012 to 2016 in terms of years lived with disability (YLDs), years of life lost (YLLs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). It also projected the burden until 2025.
After age standardization, the projected 2016 breast cancer burden among indian women was 515.4 DALYs per 1,000,000 women.
There was a great deal of variation in the state-level burden indicators.
States in the eastern and northeastern areas had a lower incidence of breast cancer than tamil Nadu, Telangana, Karnataka, and Delhi. A large rise is predicted for 2025, reaching 5.6 million DALYs, according to research by the indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
DALYs, which are stated as the number of years lost as a result of illness, disability, or early death, are a measure of the overall burden of disease.

While age-standardized incidence rates are greater in urban and metro areas—Hyderabad, chennai, Bengaluru, and delhi leading the list among indian cities—rural women have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than their urban counterparts.
The estimates state that 5.6 million DALYs will be caused by female breast cancer in india by the year 2025. A total of 5.3 million DALYs would be attributed to premature deaths from breast cancer (YLLs), with the remaining DALYs coming from disabilities (YLDs).
This research used information from 28 population-based cancer registries nationwide that are part of the National cancer Registry Programme (NCRP) to analyze the state-by-state burden of female breast cancer in india in 2016.

A 2018 Global cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) research found that the age-standardized breast cancer incidence among women in south-central Asia was 25.9 per 1,00,000 women.
A Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) research estimates that in south-central Asia, the age-standardized incidence of breast cancer was 21.6 per 1,000 women in 2016. These studies used a variety of data sources to assess the national and sub-national burdens.
However, the majority of the data included in our analysis came from NCRP's population-based cancer registries, which are located in metropolitan regions. The researchers found that age-standardized incidence rates of breast cancer are greater in urban and metro locations, with Hyderabad, chennai, Bengaluru, and delhi being the top indian cities. Rural women had a lower risk of developing breast cancer than their urban counterparts.

Urban variables have been linked to a greater incidence of breast cancer. These risks include a sedentary lifestyle, high obesity rates, delayed marriage and childbearing, and inadequate nursing.
The results of their analysis, which show that metropolitan registries like delhi, Bengaluru, and chennai had greater incidence rates than rural registries, "support this," the researchers noted.
The incidence of cancer is greatly influenced by socioeconomic variables, which also have an impact on treatment results, preventative measures, and access to healthcare.
The study found that people with lower socioeconomic level have obstacles accessing timely and high-quality medical treatment, which can delay the discovery of cancer. These obstacles are exacerbated by a lack of resources and health literacy.
