Introduction
As a healthcare professional, it is my solemn duty to make sure that patients have accurate knowledge of appendix cancer which despite being a rare and serious disease can still have a significant impact on their lives. Appendix cancer is, in everyday speech, a tumorous condition that is characterized by the overgrowth of the cells of the appendix. I am going to discuss a few aspects of this disease in the article – among which are epidemiology, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options…
World Epidemiology
The appendix cancer worldwide has been known as a rare disease. However, it is the cause of 0.5% of all digestive system cancers. The infection rate is approximately 0.12 cases per 100,000 people per year. It is more prevalent in women than in men, and the age of the average patient is also around 60.
Indian Epidemiology
The disease of appendix cancer, although rare in India, is not even properly documented because of its obscurity. Just as in other parts of the world, it constitutes a small portion of the gastrointestinal cancers in India. More studies need to be carried out to ascertain the exact incidence rates among the Indian population.

Imaging tests (CT scan, MRI, or ultrasound)
Blood tests
