    • Abstract

  • According to the global cancer statistics in 2022 updated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), there were nearly 20 million new cases of cancer and 9.7 million deaths. Lung cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer, accounting for nearly 2.5 million new cases (12.4% of all global cancers), followed by female breast cancer (11.6%), colorectal cancer (9.6%), prostate cancer (7.3%), and stomach cancer (4.9%). Lung cancer was also the leading cause of cancer deaths, with an estimated 1.8 million deaths (18.7%), followed by colorectal cancer (9.3%), liver cancer (7.8%), female breast cancer (6.9%), and stomach cancer (6.8%). Population-based projections suggest that the number of new cancer cases will reach 35 million by 2050. Increasing the investment in prevention and control measures targeting key cancer risk factors, including smoking, obesity, and infections, could save many lives globally and bring significant economic and social returns to countries in the coming decades.
