Evaluation of the Skin Cancer Cases in Malwa Region: Experimental Analysis and Case Study

The Malwa region, widely thought of as Punjab's cotton belt, consisting of the areas of Bathinda, Mansa, Muktsar, Patiala, and Sangrur, has noticed a major rise in rates of cancer. The focus of this research is to examine the available data regarding the rise in cancer incidences in Punjab's Malwa region. Muktsar has the most cancer instances out of the four districts, with Mansa, Faridkot, and Bathinda taking second and third, respectively. The examination proved that high reliance on pesticides caused for the disproportionately high rate of carcinoma in the Malwa region. The Malwa district, considered to as Punjab's ”cancer belt,” has been seeing a notable rise in cancer cases. The administration of Punjab discovered that the state has an overall prevalence of 136 cancer patients per 100,000, beyond the national average of 80 cases per 100,000. In the past decade, the Malwa region has had an enormous spike in cancer cases, which the community claims to the overproduction of pesticides degrading their groundwater resources. It is distressing to discover that over 25,000 individuals in the state have been diagnosed with cancer, and an additional 85,000 are thought to be at risk of contracting the fatal illness. According to NCRP data, the number of cancer cases is predicted to increase to more than 1,000,000 by 2020, making it an urgent health issue that requires significant and quick assistance from several organizations. We attempt to assess the Malwa region's vulnerability to skin cancer in this study. The ”Nangal Cancer Hospital & Research Institute” in Bikaner, Rajasthan, provided us with the data. About 60% of the passengers on the cancer train that runs from Bathinda to Bikaner are cancer patients, which served as the study's inspiration.
