The burden of cancer has spiralled with new cancer incidence in Orissa being about 100 per 100,000 population.
There are about 30,000 new cancer cases every year and about 1,20,000 cancer patients in Orissa at any point of time in various stages of their disease.
Patients usually report at advanced stage, thus making cure impossible. Early detection is key to cancer control and people have to be made aware of this.
