Lancet study found that adenocarcinoma -- a cancer that starts in glands that produce fluids such as mucus and digestive ones -- has become the dominant subtype among both men and women.
A study conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and published in The Lancet Oncology journal revealed that India reported 83,400 out of the 120,200 global oral cancer cases linked to smokeless tobacco (chewed, sucked, inhaled, applied locally, or ingested) and areca nut (the seed of the areca palm) in 2022.
