INTRODUCTION Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells anywhere in the body. These abnormal cells. are termed cancer cells, malignant cells, or tumor cells. These cells can infiltrate normal body. Signs of Cancer Unexpiained weight loss. Fatigue. Night sweats. Loss of appetite. New, persistent pain. Recurrent nausea or vomiting. Blood in urine. Blood in stool (either visible or detectable by special tests) Factors Causing Cancer Exact cause of cancer is not yet known. However, there are certain risk factors, which may lead to cancer. Among the common factors Tobacco is an important factor. Nearly half of the cancers in India are due to tobacco. Some common Risk factors for Cancer: Tobacco: Smoking: Cigarette, Bidi, Cigar, Hukka, others Smokeless: Zarda, Gutka, Khaini, etc. Alcohol Infections (viruses, parasites, bacteria) Diet (dietary carcinogens) Reproductive hormones Cancer is an important public health problem with 8 to 9 lakh cases occurring every year. As per 2022 report, India stands at 3rd place for cancer cases after china and US with 7 Lakh cases. Every year about 4 lakh deaths occur due to cancer. 40% of the cancers in the country are related to tobacco use. Data from population based registries under the National Cancer Registry Programme indicate that the leading sites of cancer among men are cancer of oral cavity, lungs, oesophagus and stomach and among women are cancer of uterine cervix, breast and oral cavity. Cancers namely those of oral and lungs in males and cervix and breast in females account for over 50% of all cancer deaths in India National Cancer Control Programme National Cancer Control Programme is a centrally sponsored scheme by the Ministry of Health and Family welfare, Government of India, which was initiated in the year 1975, with priorities given for equipping the premier cancer hospital /institutions. India is one of the developing countries who have nationai cancer control programme (NCCP). We stated way back in 1975 and the plan has been revised three times. The first revision was in 1984, second one in 1991 and third one 2004. Every time we have brought out a report. Evolution of NCCP 1975-76 National Cancer Control Programme It was launched with priorities given for equipping the premier cancer hospital/institutions. Central assistance at the rate of Rs.2.50 lakhs was given to each institution for purchase of cobalt machines. 1984-85 The strategy was revised and stress was laid on primary prevention and early detection of cancer cases. 1990-91 District Cancer Control Programme was started in selected districts (near the medical college hospitals). 2000-01 Modified District Cancer Control programme initiated. 2004 Evaluation of NCCP was done by National Institute of Health & Family Welfare, New Delhi.

- 8. Amity Institute of Pharmacy Goal and Objective of NCCP • 1. Primary prevention of cancers by health education specially regarding hazards of tobacco consumption and necessity of genital hygiene for prevention of cervical cancer. • 2. Secondary prevention i.e. early detection and diagnosis of cancers, for example, cancer of cervix, breast and of the oro-pharyngeal cancer by screening methods and patients' education on self examination methods. • 3. Strengthening of existing cancer treatment • facilities, which are woefully inadequate. • 4. Palliative care in terminal stage of the cancer.
- 9. Amity Institute of Pharmacy Basic steps for evaluation of NCCP • But because of the wealth of available knowledge, all countries can, at some useful level, implement the four basic components of cancer control • prevention, • early detection, • diagnosis and treatment, and • palliative care • and thus avoid and cure many cancers, as well as palliating the suffering.
- 10. Amity Institute of Pharmacy Regional Cancer Centres: • As of now, there are 27 Regional Cancer Centres, including 6 NGOs, providing comprehensive cancer care services.
