Cancer incidence reached nearly 20 million new cases globally in 2022, highlighting a significant public health challenge.
Lung cancer accounted for approximately 2.5 million cases, making it the most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide with a high mortality rate.
Geographic variability in incidence rates was noted, with Australia/New Zealand having over 500 cases per 100,000 population among men and under 100 in Western Africa, reflecting disparities in healthcare access and lifestyle factors. International predictions indicate that new cancer cases could rise to 35 million by 2050; addressing key risk factors is crucial for future prevention efforts.
