Around the world, cancer affects more men than women. However, this trend is reversed in India. Research on why women in India have a higher incidence rate of cancer is yet to yield definite results. Research states that women are better equipped to fight the disease.

Women are most affected by breast, cervix uteri, ovary, lip/oral cavity, and colorectal cancer. Breast cancer alone makes up 27.7% of the total cancer cases in women, followed by cervix uteri (16.5%) and ovarian cancer (6.2%). At 45-50 years, the average age for breast cancer in India is almost a decade lower than that in the west, where the average age for the onset of breast and ovarian cancer is 60 years. This trend, in part, is attributed to genetic and environmental factors that persist in high-income economies.

Cancer can be prevented. Every woman needs to take preventive steps to reduce her risk of getting cancer.
