Why is cancer so common nowadays? An oncologist explains the reasons behind the increase

The number of people diagnosed with cancer today has increased compared to 50 years ago, due to improved early detection methods, advancements in laboratory tests, and a higher rate of cancer screening. Despite this, cancer mortality rates have decreased from 201 to 142 cases per 100,000 people between 1999 and 2023, with the number of survivors steadily rising and projections indicating that this number will reach 26 million by 2040. The main reason for the increase in diagnoses is the development of detection technologies and early testing, along with improved treatment options and higher survival rates.
