Background: World Health Organization (W.H.O.) has warned that India is the next hub for Cancer. Cancer annually kills four lakhs Indians. In developing countries, cancer ranks third as a cause of death and accounts for 9.5 % (3.8 million) of all mortality. Cancer is curable if detected early. The results of treatment in stage I and II (early stage)are about 80%.In late stage diseases (stage III and IV ), the results are less than 20%.In India, about 70%patients are in advanced stage, and are difficult to treat. By 2015, the number of new cases is expected to cross 15 lakhs. Objective: to analysis some of the epidemiological profile of Carcinomas and find the ways and means for prevention and control of the same Material and methods: Eightytwo confirmed cases of carcinomas were included in the study. Study variables: Age, sex and site of cancer lesions Findings and discussion: Out eighty two cases 60.97 % and 39.02 % were male and female respectively.
