Egypt makes historic progress in cancer control
The Egyptian Minister of Health and Population confirmed that Egypt has achieved an unprecedented qualitative leap in cancer control. The GlobalCan Foundation reported a significant reduction in the disease’s burden nationwide, with a 23.5% decrease in cancer-related deaths and a 17.2% decline in cases between 2022 and 2024, despite a population increase of 9.8%. Cancer cases and mortality have decreased notably, most notably liver cancer, which saw a 22.1% reduction in deaths and a 16.7% decrease in new cases, thanks to the success of the "100 Million Healthy Lives" initiative aimed at eradicating hepatitis C, a main cause of this type of tumor. Additionally, breast cancer has become the most prevalent in Egypt, with intensified efforts for early detection. The decline in bladder cancer continues due to successful efforts against schistosomiasis, reflecting the success of investments in preventive health and presidential directives.
