Amid mounting cases of cancer in India, health experts on Monday said that one out of nine Indians have a lifetime risk of developing cancer but most are preventable with early detection.

India is witnessing a rise in cancer cases. As per a recent Apollo Hospitals’ Health of Nation Report, India is the "cancer capital of the world." It projected the number of annual cancer cases to rise from almost 1.4 million in 2020 to 1.57 million by 2025.
