Abstract
The incidence and burden of cancer is huge and is set to rise. Cancer kills more people on a global scale than AIDS, malaria and TB combined, hence proving to be the most fatal disease for our Society. The aim of this study is to evaluate the most common organ malignancy amongst all System Organ Malignancies. We present a brief review of malignancy cases studied at Terna Medical College, Navi Mumbai over a span of 5 years (2011-2015). Study was undertaken at Terna Medical College, Nerul, Navi Mumbai for 5 Years ( 2011-2015) for:-Malignant Cases and System Organ Specific Malignancies. We have studied Total of 5495 Cases out of which 172 turned out to be malignant over a span of 5 Years (2011-2015). Out of these 172 Malignant Cases, Female Genital System, Breast & Oral Cavity Cancers together account for 79 Percent (135 Cases).
