Male to female ratio was 1.7:1.Top five cancers in males were those of lung, larynx, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, oesophagus & stomach. Top five cancers in females were those of breast, cervix, gall bladder, ovary & oesophagus. Tobacco and alcohol related cancers predominated in males.

这项基于医院的研究旨在找出位于北阿坎德邦德拉敦的喜马拉雅医学科学研究所（HIMS）就诊患者中最常见的癌症类型，该地区医疗设施不足且社会经济地位较低。在我们的研究中，1996年7月至2003年12月病理科报告的20247例病例中，18.57%为恶性肿瘤。男女比例为1.7:1。男性中排名前五的癌症是肺癌、喉癌、非霍奇金淋巴瘤、食管癌和胃癌。女性中排名前五的癌症是乳腺癌、宫颈癌、胆囊癌、卵巢癌和食管癌。男性中与烟草和酒精相关的癌症占主导。皮肤和软组织癌在男女中也很常见。患者大多报告患有晚期癌症，这可能归因于该地区医疗设施差和健康意识淡薄。
