The World Health Organization's cancer research institute announced the
latest report on the 12th, and it is estimated that about 18 million new cancer
cases will be added to the world this year, and nearly 9 million people will
die. Experts say that the increase in cancer cases is partly due to population
growth and aging, but individuals can do more to reduce their chances of
getting sick.
Cancer early treatment is no longer a death sentence
Kuji, director of the WHO non-infectious disease department, said that many cancers can be prevented, and the key preventive measures are mainly on common risk factors: smoking, drinking, lack of exercise, and improper diet. He pointed out that more and more countries are committed to cancer prevention, including rapid diagnosis and treatment. For those who have cancer, cancer should no longer be a death sentence.
According to the study, nearly 44 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with cancer after five years of survival. The data is based on 185 countries around the world.
Lung cancer, the highest rate of death among men and women
According to UN researchers, lung cancer is the highest rate of cancer among men and women, with the second leading cause of cancer in women, and the third is colorectal cancer. Although the development of lung cancer takes decades, within a few years, it may not be possible to see a decline in the proportion of cancer due to a decline in smoking rates.
The Cancer Research Institute noted that more than half of all cancer deaths will occur in Asia, as the region's population accounts for 60% of the world's population. About 23% of cancer cases in Europe and 21% of cancer cases in the United States. Africa accounts for about 7% of cancer cases worldwide, but the mortality rate on the African continent is high, mainly due to limited local health resources, and cancer is not easy to detect early or treat early.
In developed countries, cancer prevention efforts have helped reduce the incidence of different types of cancer, including lung cancer and cervical cancer. In developing countries, the proportion of colorectal cancer increases due to the socio-economic development process. Bray, chairman of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, estimates that there will be 29 million cancer cases and 16 million deaths from cancer in 2040.
