Global Burden of Disease study analyzes cancer patterns in 195 countries, highlighting health disparities.

To detail the cancer burden for 29 cancer groups across 195 countries from 1990 to 2017 to aid in cancer control planning.
Utilized Global Burden of Disease study estimation methods for cancer data analysis.
Presented results at the national level and analyzed by socio-demographic index (SDI).
Examined the impact of epidemiological versus demographic transition on cancer incidence.
In 2017, there were 24.5 million incident cancer cases globally, with 9.6 million deaths.
Highest incidence of cancer in high SDI quintile (1 in 2) compared to low SDI quintile (1 in 7).
Leading cancers for men were nonmelanoma skin cancer and tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer; for women, common cancers were breast and colorectal cancer.

Fitzmaurice et al. (2019) studied this question.
