TN records over 1 lakh new cancer cases in one year for first time; Chennai tops

Tamil Nadu has crossed a critical public health threshold, registering more than one lakh new cancer cases in a single year for the first time. The latest figures for 2025, according to data submitted in Parliament by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, show 1,00,097 fresh cases in the state, underscoring a sharp and sustained rise in incidence and raising concerns among health authorities about prevention, early detection, and treatment capacity.

World Cancer Day 2026: Long-term care increasing financial burden in India

Highlighting the growing financial strain in cancer care across India, a new analysis claims data reveal that cancer treatment is prolonged and costs a significant amount that can push patients and families.

The claims analysis by Care Health Insurance shows that cancer treatment costs are rising sharply, with early-stage treatment typically costing Rs 5–7 lakh per case, while high-complexity and advanced cancers can push expenses to ₹20–30 lakh per treatment, depending on disease progression, care intensity, treatment protocol and period of treatment.

Is Virtual Reality Really Dead?

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Things don't look great for virtual reality. Once seen as the future of online interaction, the present has caught up to VR, and it's brutal: Meta is by far the biggest dog in the virtual reality kennel, and its virtual reality division, Reality Labs, lost over $73 billion since it launched five years ago, leading the company to pull some resources from VR to focus on smart glasses and AI. Apple, seen as the runner-up in the VR market, shipped only 45,000 Vision Pro headsets in the final quarter of 2025, a rounding error compared to the 82.6 million iPhones Apple sold in the same period. At his metaverse introduction in 2021, Mark Zuckerberg envisioned Horizon Worlds as a vast digital continent, but its active user bas...

Delhi doctors observe rising number of gallbladder cancer cases among women

On the occasion of World Cancer Day observed on February 4 earlier this week, health experts have raised concerns over the rising number of gallbladder cancer cases in Delhi, particularly among women. Often mistaken for common digestive issues, early symptoms such as acidity, bloating, nausea, or gastric pain are frequently ignored or treated with over-the-counter antacids. This delay in medical consultation leads to late-stage diagnosis, when treatment options become limited. Timely screening and diagnostic testing can play a critical role in improving outcomes and survival. Gallbladder cancer is a relatively rare but aggressive cancer that develops in the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver. Dr Kavita Jain, senior consultant in oncology pathology, Apollo Diagnostic...
