Abstract

This study provides valuable insights into the socio-demographic profile of cancer patients attending a prominent tertiary care teaching hospital in India. Cancer remains a major public health concern, and understanding the characteristics of patients seeking treatment at specialized healthcare facilities is crucial for effective cancer management and policy formulation. The research collected comprehensive data on socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, education, occupation, income, and residential location, as well as clinical and cancer-specific parameters. A cross-sectional approach was employed, and data were gathered through structured interviews and medical records. Findings from this study shed light on the diverse backgrounds and needs of cancer patients in the Indian context, informing targeted interventions and enhancing healthcare delivery for this vulnerable population.
