Lung cancer catching Delhiites young

Doctors issue yet another warning about rising cases in city

Lung cancer is currently responsible for the largest number of deaths due to a cancer in the country and doctors are conducting more research to prove just how disturbing the trend is.

Adding to this growing evidence, a research from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on Tuesday noted that nearly 21% of its patients with lung cancer were below the age of 50 years.

Non-smokers

"What is even more disturbing is that 5 of 31 patients in the younger-than-50-year age-group were less than 30-year-old and nearly 50% of the patients were non-smokers," said the report.

During the study period, 150 patients were analysed retrospectively. The age at presentation, gender and smoking status were recorded and analysed, among other parameters.

Even more distressing was the fact that this figure rose to 70% in the younger age group, that is patients who were less than 50-year-old. None of the patients who were less than 30- year-old were smokers. The male to female ratio of the study group was 3.8:1, indicating a significant rise in proportion of female patients compared to studies in the past, which had reported a much lower incidence of the disease in females.

Bad air pollution

The report noted that with the bad air pollution scenario "we are only going to see an exponential rise in the incidence of lung cancer. These estimates are staggering and point towards an imminent epidemic of lung cancer that we are about to face".

Stubble burning: Punjab govt takes action against 3,000 farmers

The Punjab government has initiated action against almost 3000 farmers for burning stubble. The Amarinder Singh government, which hopes to cut down stubble burning in the state by 10 to 20 per cent this year, said that so far the government has received complaints against 20,729 cases of stubble burning. The government has initiated action against 2,923 farmers, the Punjab CM said.

The government claimed that the total number of stubble burning incidents reported last was around 49,000. In comparison, the government says it has received reports of 20,729 cases till November 1. The Punjab government hopes that as more than 70 per cent of the paddy has already been harvested, the total number of stubble burning reports will remain lower than last year.
