India is going to be hit by cancer of the urinary bladder and kidney in an epidemic form due to constant rise in pollution of rivers and groundwater due to presence of insecticides and chemicals, said eminent surgeon and FRCR, Dr Ashok Tahiliani after returning from attending a treatment workshop at Causeway hospital, United Kingdom. During his stay there he was involved in the treatment of bladder cancer, prostate cancer and patients with difficult urinary stone diseases. In India cases of urinary bladder cancer and prostrate cancer have increased. In the west, cancer of prostrate is the most common cancer and has surpassed lung cancer. He suggested that it is therefore very necessary that the various rivers and environment should be cleaned.
