Talking about women's cancer, the Lancet study says that India is on top in the cases of women deaths due to cancer in Asia. Lasant's recent study states that 68 percent of female deaths due to cancer in India are preventable. In this study named Women, Power and Cancer, it has been said that if there was awareness about cancer among women in India, information about its symptoms and prevention as well as the right quality of treatment, then the number of deaths due to female cancer would have reduced. could have been done. Let us tell you that in this study it has been said that if cancer in women had been identified on time, everyone was aware of its symptoms and the treatment was also on time, then the number of deaths of women could have been reduced.
The study says that due to the atmosphere of neglect towards women's health in the Indian society, lack of awareness, lack of care and experience at the primary level, the number of deaths of women due to cancer has increased to a scary level. The data says that of these deaths, 6.9 billion deaths could have been prevented and 4.10 billion women could have been treated properly.

Case study of a cancer suffering woman from Mumbai
In the Lancet study, the case of a cancer-stricken woman from Mumbai, known as the financial capital of India, was highlighted. A woman living in Mumbai became an example of the country's gender inequality in cancer care. The woman lived in Nala Sopara and was suffering from headache for a long time but she was not aware of the symptoms of cancer. Besides, her drug addict husband also never expressed concern about her deteriorating health. When she complained of headache, her husband did not help her. Even the local doctor, instead of examining it properly, declared it to be an eye problem. Then her father-in-law, who is a salesman, provided her with proper medical tests and she was diagnosed with cancer.
Gender inequality is a major reason in healthcare matters
Gender inequality is also a major reason for the increasing cases of death of women due to cancer in India. The Lancet study states that women themselves do not worry about their health, their health is not their priority and they often ignore their deteriorating health. Apart from this, domestic violence and poverty are the reasons due to which women are not able to think about the treatment of diseases like cancer.
