Cancer claims 26,000 lives daily drivers behind rise
The World Health Organization points out that cancers around the world are increasing rapidly, with projections suggesting that the number of annual cases could approach 35 million by 2050 if countries do not take serious action. This rise is attributed to controllable factors such as smoking, obesity, and chronic diseases, which significantly contribute to increasing incidence and mortality rates. Smoking alone causes approximately 7 million deaths each year and accounts for 90% of lung cancer fatalities. Studies have also shown that switching from traditional cigarettes to e-cigarettes increases the risk of lung cancer by 56%. Additionally, research links obesity to a higher risk of several types of cancer, with effects that raise the likelihood of disease recurrence and death. The report emphasizes the necessity of enhancing early detection, prevention, and improving healthcare systems to combat these factors, thereby alleviating the burden on hundreds of millions of patients and their families.
