Abstract Abstract:
Background: Cancer is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. They happen when normal cells become cancerous cells that multiply and spread. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the world wide. Cancer is a genetic disorder. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s inherited. It happens when genes that manage cell activity mutate (change). They create abnormal cells that divide and
multiply, eventually disrupting how your body works.
Methods: A population survey was conducted between March 2025 to June 2025 in rural and urban area of Kurnool. Cancer patients, as well as their caregivers, received an invitation to take part in the research, so their problems and needs could be assessed.
Result : In this study 178 subjects 86 males (48%) and 92 females (52%) with cancer, selected randomly. In kurnool cancer prevalence was seen significantly higher number in urban area, 96 (54%) cases observed. In rural area the number of cases were 82 (46%). We noted that cancer affected above 50 year old male 44 (51%), below 50 year old male were 42(49%), in case of female cancer affected above 50 year old were 48 (52%) where as belove
50 affected female patients were 44(48%). During illness and treatment, the subjects most often felt fatigued.
Discussion: The data indicates that the likelihood of a patient’s poor health and disability can be increased by cancer at least twice . Fatigue is responsible for a major disruption in patients’ everyday lives, causing physical and mental disorders. This is also confirmed by our own research, during illness and treatment as many as 95% of patients felt weakness, and 26% of
patients considered fatigue as the most difficult aspect of the disease. People in lower-income groups often have higher exposure to risk factors for cancer such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, poor diet, and limited access to healthcare.
Conclusion: Patients diagnosed with cancer have a high level of unmet needs, especially in terms of psychological support and medical information. The socio-economic factors influencing cancer in Kurnool are multifaceted, affecting cancer incidence, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. These factors are interwoven with issues such as low awareness, limited access to healthcare, financial constraints, and cultural barriers. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive strategies, including improved healthcare infrastructure,
better financial protection, enhanced cancer awareness programs, and community engagement. The goal should be to ensure equitable access to timely, effective, and affordable cancer care for all socio-economic groups in Kurnool.
