Analysis indicates a significant disparity in cancer incidence between genders within India. Currently, women represent just over half of newly diagnosed cases, while men consistently comprise the majority of cancer-related deaths. This trend reflects variations in risk factors, including lifestyle choices and diagnostic practices. While women face a higher rate of diagnosis, the proportion of male cancer fatalities remains considerably larger than in many other developed nations. Further research is needed to understand the underlying reasons for this observed difference and its potential implications for public health.
