According to the Indian Council of Medical Research Cancer Registry data, Uttar Pradesh, registered the highest count of cancer cases in India. During the year 2022, the state documented an astonishing 210,000 new cases, marking a significant uptick from the 201,000 cases registered in 2020.
The state of Uttar Pradesh also logged the highest count of fatalities linked to cancer, with a remarkable 116,818 individuals succumbing to this formidable ailment.

Among the total reported cases nationwide in 2022, an astonishing 808,558 individuals lost their lives to the illness, reflecting a distressing mortality rate exceeding 55 percent. Notably, Uttar Pradesh’s fatality rate mirrored the national average, indicating a widespread struggle in addressing and managing cancer.
