WHO also published survey results from 115 countries, showing a majority of countries do not adequately finance priority cancer and palliative care services, as part of universal health coverage (UHC) .  \nThe IARC estimates, based on the best sources of data available in countries in 2022, highlight the growing burden of cancer, the disproportionate impact on underserved populations, and the urgent need to address cancer inequities worldwide.  \nIn 2022, there were an estimated 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths. The estimated number of people who were alive within 5 years following a cancer diagnosis was 53.5 million. About 1 in 5 people develop cancer in their lifetime, approximately 1 in 9 men and 1 in 12 women die from the disease.  \nThe global WHO survey on UHC and cancer shows that only 39% of participating countries covered the basics of cancer management as part of their financed core health services for all citizens,‘health benefit packages’ (HBP) . Only 28% of participating countries additionally covered care for people who require palliative care, including pain relief in general, and not just linked to cancer.  \nThree major cancer types in 2022: lung, breast and colorectal cancers  \nThe new estimates available on IARC’s Global Cancer Observatory show that 10 types of cancer collectively comprised around two-thirds of new cases and deaths globally in 2022. Data covers 185 countries and 36 cancers.  \nLung cancer was the most commonly occurring cancer worldwide with 2.5 million new cases accounting for 12.4% of the total new cases. Female breast cancer ranked second (2.3 million cases, 11.6%), followed by colorectal cancer (1.9 million cases, 9.6%), prostate cancer (1.5 million cases, 7.3%), and stomach cancer (970 000 cases, 4.9%) .  \nLung cancer was the leading cause of cancer death (1.8 million deaths, 18.7% of the total cancer deaths) followed by colorectal cancer (900 000 deaths, 9.3%), liver cancer (760 000 deaths, 7.8%), breast cancer (670 000 deaths, 6.9%) and stomach cancer (660 000 deaths, 6.8%) . Lung cancer’s re-emergence as the most common cancer is likely related to persistent tobacco use in Asia.  \nThere were some differences by sex in incidence and mortality from the global total for both sexes. For women, the most commonly diagnosed cancer and leading cause of cancer death was breast cancer, whereas it was lung cancer for men. Breast cancer was the most common cancer in women in the vast majority of countries (157 of 185) .  \nFor men, prostate and colorectal cancers were the second and third most commonly occurring cancers, while liver and colorectal cancers were the second and third most common causes of cancer death. For women, lung and colorectal cancer were second and third for both the number of new cases and of deaths.  \nCervical cancer was the eighth most commonly occurring cancer globally and the ninth leading cause of cancer death, accounting for 661 044 new cases and 348 186 deaths. It is the most common cancer in women in 25 countries, many of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. Even while recognizing varying incidence levels, cervical cancer can be eliminated as a public health problem, through the scale-up of the WHO Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative.  \nStriking cancer inequity by Human Development Index (HDI)  \nGlobal estimates reveal striking inequities in the cancer burden according to human development. This is particularly true for breast cancer. In countries with a very high HDI, 1 in 12 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and 1 in 71 women die of it. By contrast, in countries with a low HDI; while only one in 27 women  \n326 Saudi Med J 2024; Vol.","cbCaiaxmVjMr5LCN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaxmVjMr5LCN","pdf",289030,"English","# Global estimates and survey findings\n## Cancer burden in 2022 and 5-year survival estimates\n## Coverage of cancer management and palliative care in countries\n# Major cancer types and sex differences\n## Lung, breast, colorectal and leading causes of death\n## Cervical cancer and elimination potential\n# Inequities by human development\n## Breast cancer risk and mortality differences by HDI\n## Service coverage disparities across incomes\n# Policy response and projected growth to 2050","[{\"question\":\"What do WHO and IARC report about the global cancer burden?\",\"answer\":\"They report updated estimates showing the global cancer burden is growing, with an increasing number of new cases and deaths and a disproportionate impact on underserved populations.\"},{\"question\":\"How many countries cover essential cancer management and palliative care under universal health coverage?\",\"answer\":\"Only 39% of participating countries covered the basics of cancer management as part of their financed core health services, while 28% additionally covered care for people who require palliative care, including pain relief.\"},{\"question\":\"Which cancers account for most cases and deaths, and what are the leading causes of cancer death?\",\"answer\":\"Ten cancer types account for around two-thirds of new cases and deaths globally in 2022.
