Abstract	Background: Cancer poses a growing public health challenge in India, yet regional data remain scarce. This study evaluates the prevalence and distribution of cancer types in Ahilyanagar district, Maharashtra. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted using patient data collected from healthcare facilities, cancer registries, and pathology laboratories in Ahilyanagar district. Data from a total of 528 patients diagnosed with cancer over a six-month period were analyzed. The study focused on identifying the frequency of different cancer types and associated trends. Results: The most common cancers were buccal mucosa (17.8%), breast (14.2%), and cervical (11.3%). High oral cancer rates were linked to tobacco and betel nut use, while cervical and breast cancer prevalence reflected poor screening access and lifestyle changes. Conclusion: Ahilyanagar district faces a significant burden of preventable cancers. Region-specific strategies—including early detection, HPV vaccination, and anti-tobacco campaigns—are essential to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality.
