Cancer, at the time of this writing in 2023, is the 2nd leading cause of death in the U.S. Can we change that for ourselves? What will you do if you get a cancer diagnosis? What will you do to stay in remission if you’ve had a cancer diagnosis?
Statistics at a Glance: The Burden of Cancer Worldwide
Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2018, there were 18.1 million new cases and 9.5Â million cancer-related deaths worldwide.
By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 16.4 million.
Generally, cancer rates are highest in countries whose populations have the highest life expectancy, education level, and standard of living. But for some cancer types, such as cervical cancer, the reverse is true, and the incidence rate is highest in countries in which the population ranks low on these measures.
