A hospital based five year's retrospective study was conducted to report the present burden of HNC in the state of Odisha, which has about one twenty-eighth population of India at present. Material and Methods: All the patients suffering from HNC who were treated by radiation therapy during 2010-14 at a Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) in Odisha were analyzed year-wise for age, sex, site of disease and their native area. Results: Basing on the census-2011 data, the number of registered HNC patients per annum in radiotherapy per million of population from low, medium and high literacy areas were calculated and found as 5.34, 6.36 and 29.51 respectively. Out of the total HNC patients treated, more than 66.49% were from oral cancer at the median age of 52 years. Discussion: Odisha has 83.3% rural population with literacy below 70%. Due to large number of tobacco users, lack of awareness, higher percentage of illiteracy and unavailability of basic cancer care facilities at their reach, people mainly depend on various unscientific methods for their health care. Conclusion: Strengthening of existing RCC of the state, development of oncology wings in all medical college hospitals by providing basic radiotherapy facilities, emphasising more on district cancer control programs, decent ralising of NGO schemes and facilitating with more cancer screening and awareness programs may help better registration, prevention and treatment of cancer in Odisha.

A hospital-based, 5-year (2010–2014) retrospective study was conducted at a regional cancer center of Odisha to analyze the present burden of cancer cervix in this state, which has a population of more than 45.5 million at present. Materials and Methods: All the patients suffering from cancer cervix that was treated by radiotherapy during 2010–2014 at this center were analyzed year wise for age, stage of disease, and native area. Results: Based on the Census 2011 data, it was calculated and found that from the low-literacy area on an average of 4.62 cervical cancer patients per million, from the medium-literacy area 6.56 patients per million, and from high-literacy area 19.11 patients per million of population have received radiotherapy in this hospital. More than 60% of patients with cervical cancer were from stage IIIB and in the age group of 50–55 years. Discussion: Odisha has 83.7% female pop...

Comparison was made between the results from this work and the reported literature values. Tobacco-products were found to be enriched with multi-elements, and it was observed that the human blood-elements were slowly decreasing with respect to their increasing habits of tobacco.
