Cancer is a significant public health concern in India, with a rising burden of cancer cases reported each year. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), cancer is the second leading cause of death in India, with an estimated 1.16 million new cancer cases diagnosed annually. The most common cancers in India include breast cancer, cervical cancer, oral cancer, and lung cancer, among others.
Both men and women are at risk of developing cancer, although the types of cancer and the risk factors may vary between genders. In India, men are more likely to develop cancers such as oral cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer, while women are at higher risk of breast cancer, cervical cancer, and ovarian cancer. However, it's important to note that anyone can develop cancer, regardless of gender.
Hereditary cancers are caused by inherited genetic mutations that increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer. These mutations can be passed down from one generation to the next and may significantly increase an individual's risk of developing cancer at a younger age than typically expected. Examples of hereditary cancer syndromes include:
Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome
Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer)
Li-Fraumeni syndrome
Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)
Cancer geneticscreening plays a crucial role in helping individuals and families understand their genetic risk of cancer and make informed decisions about their health. Genetic counseling can provide valuable insights into inherited genetic factors that may increase the risk of certain cancers, allowing individuals to take proactive steps towards cancer prevention, early detection, and personalized cancer management strategies.
