India's Cancer Notification and Healthcare Capacity Amid Rising Cases
In India, cancer is not nationally a notifiable disease, limiting comprehensive data collection. While 17 states, including Telangana, have made cancer notifiable locally, national registries cover only 10-16% of the population, mainly urban areas. Public hospitals like Hyderabad's MNJ Cancer Hospital face high patient loads, reflecting demand for oncology services. Experts emphasize the need for nationwide cancer notification to improve data accuracy and public health responses amid rising cancer cases projected to increase by over 74% by 2045.
