A Glimpse into the Epidemiology of Geriatric Cancers in India: Report from the Indian Population Based Cancer Registries.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionIndian population is aging and the cancer rates are rising. Older adults (OAs)(≥60 years) with cancer require specialized care. However, data on geriatric cancer epidemiology is scarce.
methodsThe study compiled the geriatric cancer data from the published reports(2012-2014) of Indian population-based cancer registries(PBCRs).
resultsOf the 1,61,363 cancers registered in the Indian PBCRs, 72,446(44.9%) occur in OAs, with 21,805(30.1%), 18,349(25.3%), 14,645(20.2%), and 17,647(24.4%) occurring in 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, and ≥75year age groups. The truncated incidence rates for OAs are 555.9,404.5, and 481.9 for males, females, and OA populations respectively. The common cancers are lung, prostate, and esophagus cancers in males, breast, cervix, and lung in females. The overall common cancers are lung, prostate, and breast. While >50% of the incident cases of prostate, and bladder cancers occurred in OAs, <20% of Hodgkin lymphoma and thyroid cancers occurred in OAs. OA cancer epidemiology has a regional variation, highest in South India and lowest in Western India.
conclusionThe current study quantifies the cancer burden in the Indian geriatric population. Understanding the epidemiology of geriatric cancers is vital to health program planning and implementation. Increased awareness, focused resource allocation, research, and national policies for streamlining care will all help to improve geriatric cancer outcomes.
