It is possible to cut many oral, breast and cervical deaths even in rural areas by early detection and treatment. A paper published in LANCET on March 29,2010 asserted that Cancer killed 5.56lakh people in India in 2010 out of which 30-69 age group accounted for 71%.In 2001-2003 the deaths were only 7137 deaths due to cancer only. While in 2010, the deaths were 556,400. Among the women, the cervical cancer accounts for 17% followed by breast cancer 10.2%. The rate of cervical cancer is the same in both the rural and urban areas. Likewise, similar mortality rates were seen in the case of breast cancer in women in both the areas. A 30-year-old male in North East had about 11.2% chances of dying from cancer before he turned 70.

Due to spite of the imitation of the West many cervical cancer deaths are becoming less in urban areas in India compared to rural areas. However, the numbers of breast cancer deaths are increasing. The big role in India is due to late pregnancy and early menarche. Breast cancer deaths are due to the failure of early detection in urban areas. Among the educated, the death rates are 46 per 100000 for men and 43 for women. Rates of breast cancer varied little with education the author has highlighted.

TIME MAGAZINE AWARDEE BY THE PRESIDENT OF USA 2012
Award $50000 study scholarship for “AMPK and Cisplatin Resistance”

Injecting spinach with blue food coloring in second grade since she thought blue vegetables would provide an alternative for children who would not eat green vegetables. However, she forgot to water the plants. The spinach didn’t live too long but the scientist in Bose was awakened. Her project for the Google Science Fair, titled “AMPK and Cistplatin Resistance” deals with drug resistance in ovarian cancer. “ My project is about how the drug Cisplatin (commonly used to treat this kind of cancer) goes into the DNA of cancer cells and kinks it up so that the cell realizes that something is so wrong that it must kill itself. A major problem with this kind of drug is that cells often become resistant to this and so patients who have responded well to [Cisplatin] often come back with recurrence of disease. This is often the biggest problem with this drug at the moment. We thought this has to do with a protein called AMP Kinase, an energy protein that, in the cell, regulates the energy ratio and signals to the cells when energy ratios are high or low. Basically, we turned off the signal and studied the way in which this affected cancer as well as non-cancer cells.” She explained. Her proudest moment ? Proving that AMP Kinase does play a role in developing resistance to this drug. Balancing schoolwork and research can be tough but Bose, whose Google winnings include a $50,000 study scholarship, an internship at the CERN particle Physics Laboratory in Switzerland and a 10-day trip to the Galapagon Islands, lso finds time to swim and edit her school newspaper. Father Animesh Bose, a materials engineer with degree from IIT Khargpur, and mother Prarthana, have always been supportive. Bose started working on the project in May 2010 and finished at the end of August.”Three months actually but they involved insane hours.” She says. When, she first conceived the idea, she e-mailed several professors and many rejected her before Alakananada Basu, Professor in the Department of Molecul;ar Biology and Immunology at the University of North Texas Health Science Centre took her on. “From then on, it was the lab, readings tons of papers, talking to graduate students and spending all summer working while my friends were having agreat time outside.” Says Bose. Her elder brother, Pinaki, whom she describes as the smartest person she knows, is a science buff who would explain things to her when they were children.” He was always building stuff with Lego and I was the kid who would find suitable piceses.” She laughs. “ Today I have done something that helps me explain science to others. In so many ways, that makes me feel I have finally grown up.”

A CRICKETER

The crickter Mr Yuvaraj Singh had been to foreign countries for his Cancer treatment.Today's April 10th, 2012 newspaper of The Hindu has given the details.

Some Remarks

 The organizer Professor .Dr.K.Lakshmi Narayana is concerned on CANCER a killer disease in India.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We are thankful to Late Professor K. Rangadhama Rao D.Sc.(Madras) D.Sc.(London) of Andhra University colleges, Visakhapatnam-530002, who first met the the cancer patients and their concern of life and living in adverse conditions. Marriages in India is seldom a great problem since they become delayed due either of interest in Advanced Studies or due to the family histories.
