Rajasthan Cancer Incidence Higher Than National Average

Rajasthan Cancer Incidence Higher Than National Average

Doctors in Rajasthan are worried because more people in the state are getting cancer than the average across the country.

They looked at data and found that cancer cases in Rajasthan are higher than what’s expected for the rest of India.

This means more people in Rajasthan might get cancer.

Some areas, like Jaipur, have even higher rates.

The most common cancers found are related to the mouth and throat.

The doctors think that things like smoking, drinking alcohol, and exposure to pesticides may be causing the problem.

They are urging for action to prevent more people from getting cancer.
