Pediatric Cancer Burden in Different Regions of India: Analysis of Published Data From 33 Population-Based Cancer Registries. Indian Pediatrics. 2023 Jul; 60(7): 541-5450079-60610974-7559http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/225437Objective:To provide the regional pediatric cancer (age-group 0-14 years) burden and pattern in India utilizing published data of population-based cancer registries established under the National Cancer Registry Programme and Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai. Methods:Based on the geographic locations, the population-based cancer registries were categorized into six regions. The age-specific incidence rate was calculated using the number of pediatric cancer cases and population in the respective age-group. Age-standardized incidence rate per million and 95% CI were calculated.Results: In India, 2% of all cases were pediatric cancer. The agestandardized incidence rate (95% CI) for boys and girls is 95.1 (94.3-95.9) and 65.5 (64.8-66.2) per million population, respectively. Registries from northern India reported the highest rate; while the lowest rate was in northeastern India. Conclusion:There is a need to establish pediatric cancer registries in different regions of India to know the accurate pediatric cancer burden.IncidenceLeukemiaLymphomaSurveillance.Pediatric Cancer Burden in Different Regions of India: Analysis of Published Data From 33 Population-Based Cancer RegistriesJournal ArticleIndiaCentre for Cancer Epidemiology (CCE), Tata Memorial Centre (TMC),Navi Mumbai, MaharashtraDepartment of Community Medicine, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), ChandigarhDepartment of Preventive Oncology, Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya Cancer Centre (MPMMCC), Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), Varanasi, Uttar PradeshDepartment of Pathology, Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital (HBCH), Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), Sangrur, PunjabDepartment of Medical Oncology, Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), Mumbai, MaharashtraHomi Bhabha National Institute, Training School Complex, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai, Maharashtra.
