To provide the regional pediatric cancer (age-group 0-14 years) burden and pattern in India utilizing published data of population-based cancer registries established under the National Cancer Registry Programme and Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai.
Based on the geographic locations, the population-based cancer registries were categorized into six regions. The age-specific incidence rate was calculated using the number of pediatric cancer cases and population in the respective age-group. Age-standardized incidence rate per million and 95% CI were calculated.
In India, 2% of all cases were pediatric cancer. The age-standardized incidence rate (95% CI) for boys and girls is 95.1 (94.3-95.9) and 65.5 (64.8-66.2) per million population, respectively. Registries from northern India reported the highest rate; while the lowest rate was in northeastern India.
There is a need to establish pediatric cancer registries in different regions of India to know the accurate pediatric cancer burden.
利用国家癌症登记计划和位于孟买的塔塔纪念中心建立的基于人群的癌症登记处的已发表数据，提供印度地区儿童癌症（0-14 岁年龄组）负担和模式的信息。
根据地理位置，将基于人群的癌症登记处分为六个区域。使用相应年龄组的儿童癌症病例和人口数计算特定年龄组的发病率。计算每百万人口的年龄标准化发病率及其 95%置信区间。
在印度，2%的病例为儿童癌症。男孩和女孩的年龄标准化发病率（95%CI）分别为每百万人口 95.1（94.3-95.9）和 65.5（64.8-66.2）。来自印度北部的登记处报告的发病率最高；而印度东北部的发病率最低。
印度不同地区需要建立儿童癌症登记处，以了解准确的儿童癌症负担。
