Introduction: National cancer Institute has given the definition of young adult cancer in which diagnosis occurs between the age of 15 and 39 years. (1) Cancer with AYA have high risk of long-term effect of cancer and its treatment like organ dysfunction, infertility and secondary cancers as compared to older group of cancer patients (6,7,8) cancer is more common in elderly group according to some studies. Several Studies shown increasing evidence in younger population.

Result: We have analyzed the data from 2014 to 2021. Total 4667 (20.11%) Cases were registered, 3410 (52.89%) were males and 3037 (47.1%) were females. We analyzed 15 common cancers in our study in which 4698 (14.65%) cases were registered, commonest cancer we found in this group from 20-39 years was carcinoma breast with 18.88%. 2nd commonest was Head and Neck cancer with 14.32% of the cases.

Discussion: Urban Population based registry of India shown 5.8% of incidence with younger adults, same rate of incidence also reported in England (13), other studies reported prevalence rate from 3.8 to 5.71% (15). Breast cancer is commonest cancer affecting females worldwide about 25.4% of all new cases diagnosed in a year, it is reported the major cause of the death in 103 countries including India (28) 1%-2% cases of breast cancer reported under 35 years of age globally (1) Breast cancer in young population reported higher histological grades, higher death rate, unfavorable hormonal status (29).

Conclusion: 20-39 years have different epidemiological, biological, genetic factors. Carcinoma Breast (19%) was commonest cancer in our study. 2nd commonest was Hematolymphoid (14.4%). .

Keywords: Breast Cancer; Carcinoma Breast; Carcinoma Gall Bladder
