Public Awareness Programs Should Be Conducted
According to the experts, India has the world’s one-fourth cervical cancer patients. It is an alarming situation for any country. India should start public awareness campaign programs. These should be implemented aggressively in the public education.
Cervical cancer is the most frequent and dangerous cancer which affect women in India. Statistic records claim that around 366 million women are affected by cancer. This includes children from the age of 15 and older. The global figures are over 530,000 in one year. Among it, India alone contributes 134,000.
Every year, almost 73,000 women die of cancer disease. The projected statistical count of cancer patients by 2025 is 204,000. The deaths expected are 115,000.
According to India, the mortality rate is 15.2%. The percentage according to the rate of US is 1.7%.
There are vaccines which can reduce the long term incidence and mortality of the cervical cancer. But there are no immediate benefits.
Till now, early detection of cancer is the most important factor behind the cure of this disease.
This is the similar case for Brazil. Brazil is also a developing country as India. Over there cervical cancer stands as the second most frequent cancer among women.
