PMJAY report 2025β26 highlights a steadily rising cancer burden in India, underscoring the need for stronger prevention, early detection, and financial protection strategies. Cancer is now one of the leading public health challenges in the country, with incidence rates showing a consistent upward trend.
In recent PMJAY-related analyses, cancer cases in India, increased from about 14.6 lakh in 2022 to nearly 15.7 lakh by 2025, reflecting a significant rise within a short period.
The projected rise in cancer incidence is attributed to multiple factors such as population ageing, lifestyle changes, to***co use, environmental exposures, and improved detection mechanisms.
Common cancers like breast, lung, and cervical cancer continue to contribute significantly to the overall burden.
Time to expand screening and investing in preventive healthcare is the need of hour.
