Demographical and Epidemiological Contribution to Cancer Incidence in Delhi and Its Trends from 1991-2015

CONCLUSION: A significant contribution to new cancer cases was observed due to a demographical shift in both population size and structure, in addition to plausible cancer-specific risk factors. This transformation could surge a potential burden on the Delhi healthcare system. Persistent endeavours are essential to expand and enhance the existing cancer care infrastructure to meet the rising demand driven by aging and population growth. Implementing a stringent population policy can help to mitigate the impact of population growth on cancer incidence.PMID:38679980 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.4.1213
