World Health Organization: There will be about 20 million new cancer cases worldwide in 2022, including 2.5 million new lung cancer cases

The International Agency for Research on Cancer under the World Health Organization recently released its latest report, which shows that there will be about 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths in 2022. It is worth noting that lung cancer accounts for the highest proportion in both data: 2.5 million new lung cancer cases and 1.8 million deaths. The report shows that lung cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer are the cancers with the highest incidence rates in the world in 2022. Lung cancer becoming the most common cancer may be related to the long-term smoking situation in Asia.

Globally, there are gender differences in cancer incidence and mortality.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer death in women.

Lung cancer is the most common cancer in men and the leading cause of cancer death in men.

According to a previous domestic survey, the five cancers with the highest mortality rates in China are lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, and colorectal cancer. Lung cancer also ranks first and has the fastest growth rate.

The WHO report predicts that by 2050, the number of new cancer cases worldwide will exceed 35 million, an increase of 77% from 2022.

There are many factors contributing to the increasing global cancer burden, including population aging and growth, and changes in cancer risk factors, some of which are related to socioeconomic development.

Smoking, drinking and obesity are key factors in the rising incidence of cancer, and air pollution remains the main environmental risk factor.
