Figure 2. Age-adjusted incidence rates of NPC in males registered between 2004 and 2005 in all PBCRs. The data are from the PBCRs of National Cancer Registry Programme of Indian Council of Medical Research. Only 2 PBCRs, Mizoram and Sikkim PBCRs, cover an entire state. At the time of publication of the PBCR report of National Cancer Registry of ICMR, the data from new PBCRs are not available. The rates are reported as per 100 000 population. The Northeastern states of India (excluding Assam state) have higher incidence of NPC than the rest states of India.
