Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Cancer incidence and mortality and risk factors in member countries of the Belt and Road initiative

Baohua Wang et al.

Summary: The study analyzed cancer incidence, mortality, and risk factors among Belt and Road countries, finding lung, breast, colorectal, stomach, liver, prostate, cervical, esophageal, thyroid, and uterine cancers to be most common with high mortality rates. Hungary and Latvia had the highest cancer incidence and mortality rates for men, while Greece and Brunei had the highest rates for women. Countries in the region mostly had high HDI levels, with the United Arab Emirates showing the highest mortality-to-incidence ratio. Tobacco, infections, and UV rays were identified as the main cancer risk factors in Belt and Road countries, highlighting the need for improved prevention and control policies. Strengthening health cooperation among member countries is essential for a collective response to cancer risks and challenges.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Cancer burden in Nepal, 1990-2017: An analysis of the Global Burden of Disease study

Gambhir Shrestha et al.

Summary: This study focused on the trend and burden of cancer in Nepal from 1990 to 2017, identifying cancer as a significant public health issue in the country. The most common types of cancer were breast, lung, cervical, stomach, and oral cavity cancers, with major risk factors including tobacco use, dietary factors, and environmental factors. Efforts towards prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment are urgently needed to reduce the burden of cancer in Nepal.
