A recent study by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has revealed a concerning statistic: nearly three out of every five individuals diagnosed with cancer in India do not survive the disease. This translates to an incidence-to-mortality ratio of approximately 65%, indicating that 65% of cancer patients in the country succumb to the illness post-diagnosis. In contrast, this ratio stands at 50% in China and 23% in the United States.
The study, published in The Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia, highlights that women in India bear a disproportionate burden of cancer compared to men. In 2022, the estimated number of new cancer cases in India was 1,461,427, with women accounting for 749,251 of these cases, resulting in a crude incidence rate of 105.4 per 100,000 women. In comparison, men accounted for 712,176 cases, with a crude incidence rate of 95.6 per 100,000 men.
Breast cancer emerges as the most prevalent cancer among Indian women, constituting 26.6% of all new cancer cases in females. This is followed by cervical cancer at 17.7% and ovarian cancer at 6.6%. For men, cancers of the lip and oral cavity are most common, accounting for 15.6% of new cases, with lung cancer following at 8.5%.
Geographically, certain regions in India exhibit higher cancer incidence rates. For instance, Kerala reported the highest crude incidence rate in 2016, with 135.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Mizoram followed closely with nearly 122 cases per 100,000 people.

The ICMR study underscores the urgent need for enhanced cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment strategies in India. The high mortality rate post-diagnosis suggests potential gaps in early detection and access to quality healthcare services. Addressing these challenges is crucial to improving cancer outcomes in the country.
In summary, the ICMR’s findings shed light on the pressing cancer crisis in India, emphasizing the disproportionate impact on women and the critical need for comprehensive public health interventions to combat the disease effectively.
The Hidden Cure: How Devotion to Supreme God Can Heal Incurable Diseases
The ICMR study highlights the growing cancer crisis in India, emphasizing the urgent need for better early detection, medical accessibility, and preventive healthcare measures. However, true healing extends beyond just medical treatment—it requires a holistic approach that includes spiritual well-being.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji explains that diseases like cancer are not just physical ailments but consequences of past karmas. According to scriptural evidence in the Holy Rigveda (10:161:2) and Shri Guru Granth Sahib, Supreme God has the power to cure even the most severe illnesses. When people engage in true worship as per the scriptures, they not only gain inner peace and strength but also eradicate the sins responsible for their suffering.
Modern research also supports the role of spirituality, faith, and meditation in reducing stress, which plays a significant role in disease progression. While medical science treats the body, true devotion to God heals the soul and eliminates the root cause of suffering.
Thus, alongside scientific advancements, it is crucial to embrace the right spiritual path. By following the correct way of worship as guided by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji, people can not only recover from incurable diseases but also attain salvation, ensuring freedom from all sufferings forever.
