Abstract

Background: Globally 85% of Paediatrics Cancer is reported in developing world. In India nearly 45,000 new paediatrics cancer cases are reported every year which contributed less than 5% of all the cancer cases (1) Riberto 5-year survival rate reported is only 10%, Globally more than 0.2 million cases are diagnosed every year. In developed world 5-year survival rate is quite high about 95% (2) Steller Average incidence of 75 to 150 Paediatrics cancer per million children, Average incidence in India is higher as compared to western population.

Material and Method: Our center is the State Cancer Institute, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science, Patna which caters approximately million population of Bihar. All the pediatric patients 0–14-year male registered under HBCR program in Department of Radiation Oncology.

Result: Total 1978 childhood cancer was reported in our study. In which 357(68.3%) were male children and 627 (32.48%) where female children 0-19 years age groups common age group was 5 to 19 years 1058(78.31%) cases reported with this age group while 293 cases were reported in 0-4 years in male children which in girl children most cancer age group was 10-19 years in which 358 (57.09%) patients were reported.
