Head & Neck (3,00,000 new cases detected each year),
Cervix (1,00,000 new cases detected each year) and
Breast (80,000 new cases detected each year).
These are amenable to prevention and early detection. Therefore it is important to record history of previous illness and treatment, family history of cancer, lifestyle patterns and other risk factors.
