Abstract
According to The National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) at Bengaluru, India, 1.45 million cases of cancer were estimated to be diagnosed in 2016. Available data from randomized trials done in south India suggest that simple innovative methods such as visual inspection-based screening (for oral cavity)[7], visual inspection with acetic acid application for cervical cancer[8] may be useful and cost-effective methods of screening for these two common cancers. There is a need to focus research on prevention of some cancers with high incidence in certain areas, for example, gallbladder cancer in Gangetic belt, penile cancer in rural population, oesophageal cancer in NE region, colon cancer in Goa, stomach cancer in southern and northeast India[4]. [...]directing research for upcoming problems like lifestyle and obesity-related cancers would be timely. Since most patients have advanced disease and poor performance status at presentation, research efforts to develop cost-effective protocols for palliative care would be meaningful.
