Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer worldwide, accounting for 1.82 million deaths in 2022. The second most deadly form of cancer is colorectum cancer, followed by liver cancer. However, lung cancer is only the sixth leading cause of death worldwide, with heart disease and stroke accounting for the highest share of deaths. Male vs. female cases Given that lung cancer causes the highest number of cancer deaths worldwide, it may be unsurprising to learn that lung cancer is the most common form of new cancer cases among males. However, among females, breast cancer is by far the most common form of new cancer cases. In fact, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide, followed by prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a very close second to lung cancer among the cancers with the highest rates of new cases among men. Male vs. female deaths Lung cancer is by far the deadliest form of cancer among males but is the second deadliest form of cancer among females. Breast cancer, the most prevalent form of cancer among females worldwide, is also the deadliest form of cancer among females. Although prostate cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among men, it is the fifth deadliest cancer. Lung, liver, stomach, colorectum, and oesophagus cancers all have higher deaths rates among males.

Lung cancer had the highest rate of death among all cancer types worldwide in 2022. In that year, there were around 17 deaths from trachea, bronchus and lung cancer per 100,000 population. The death rate for all cancers was 91.1 per 100,000 population. This statistic shows the rate of cancer deaths worldwide in 2022, by type of cancer.

Breast cancer was the cancer type with the highest rate of death among females worldwide in 2022. That year, there were around 13 deaths from breast cancer among females per 100,000 population. The death rate for all cancers among females was 76.4 per 100,000 population. This statistic displays the rate of cancer deaths among females worldwide in 2022, by type of cancer.

In 2022, there were over 9.7 million cancer deaths worldwide. It is projected that the number of deaths due to cancer worldwide will increase to almost 18.5 million by 2050. The most prevalent type of cancer in 2022 was breast cancer with around 48 prevalent cases per 100,000 population. However, lung cancer is by far the deadliest type of cancer.

Lung Cancer Lung cancer is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. In 2022, around 1.82 million cancer deaths, or 19 percent of all cancer deaths worldwide were attributed to lung cancer. Long-term smoking is known to be a major cause of lung cancer. People who never quit smoking are 24 percent more likely to die before age 65 than people who never smoked in their lives.

Treatment In 2023, it was estimated that there were around 4,492 cancer immunotherapy products in R&D phases, as well as another 3,622 other cancer products in the R&D product pipeline. In the same year, it was projected that there were 965 active drugs for breast cancer, as well as 925 active drugs for non-small cell lung cancer.

>In 2017, 9.6 million people are estimated to have died from the various forms of cancer. Every sixth death in the world is due to cancer, making it the second leading cause of death – second only to cardiovascular diseases.1

Progress against many other causes of deaths and demographic drivers of increasing population size, life expectancy and — particularly in higher-income countries — aging populations mean that the total number of cancer deaths continues to increase. This is a very personal topic to many: nearly everyone knows or has lost someone dear to them from this collection of diseases.

IntroductionThe burden of cancer-related mortality of common malignancies has been reported worldwide. However, whether bone cancer (BC), as a highly aggressive and heterogeneous group of rare cancers, followed a similar or distinct epidemiological pattern during such process remains largely unknown. We aimed to analyze the mortality and the temporal trends of BC in relation to gender, age, and premature death in Shanghai, China.MethodsWe conducted a population-based analysis of the mortality data of BC in Shanghai Pudong New Area (PNA) from 2005 to 2020. The epidemiological characteristics and long-term trends in crude mortality rates (CMRs), age-standardized mortality rates worldwide (ASMRWs), and rate of years of life lost (YLL) was analyzed using the Joinpoint regression program. The demographic and non-demographic factors affecting the mortality rate were evaluated by the decomposition method.ResultsThere are 519 BC-specific deaths accounting for 0.15% of all 336,823 deaths and 0.49% of cancer-specific death in PNA. The CMR and ASMRW of BC were 1.15/105 person-year and 0.61/105 person-year, respectively. The YLL due to premature death from BC was 6,539.39 years, with the age group of 60–69 years having the highest YLL of 1,440.79 years. The long-term trend of CMR, ASMRW, and YLL rate significantly decreased by −5.14%, −7.64%, and −7.27%, respectively, per year (all p < 0.05) in the past 16 years. However, the proportion of BC-specific death within the total cancer-specific death dropped to a plateau without further improvement since 2016, and a remarkable gender and age disparity was noticed in the observed reduction in mortality. Specifically, the elderly benefited less but accounted for a larger percentage of BC population in the last decades. Although the overall mortality of BC decreased, there was still a significant upward trend toward an increased mortality rate caused by the aging of the BC patients.ConclusionOur study provides novel insights on the epidemiological characteristics and longitudinal dynamics of BC in a fast urbanization and transitioning city. As a rare disease affecting all ages, the burden of BC among the elderly emerged to form an understudied and unmet medical need in an aging society.

For both sexes of all ages, the total number of cancer deaths was estimated to be approximately 9.74 million in 2022. Almost one fifth of these deaths were from lung cancer. This statistic describes the distribution of cancer deaths worldwide in 2022, sorted by type of cancer.

In 2010, cancer deaths accounted for more than 15% of all deaths worldwide, and this fraction is estimated to rise in the coming years. Increased cancer mortality has been observed in immigrant populations, but a comprehensive analysis by country of birth has not been conducted. We followed all individuals living in Sweden between 1961 and 2009 (7,109,327 men and 6,958,714 women), and calculated crude cancer mortality rates and age-standardized rates (ASRs) using the world population for standardization. We observed a downward trend in all-site ASRs over the past two decades in men regardless of country of birth but no such trend was found in women. All-site cancer mortality increased with decreasing levels of education regardless of sex and country of birth (p for trend <0.001). We also compared cancer mortality rates among foreign-born (13.9%) and Sweden-born (86.1%) individuals and determined the effect of education level and sex estimated by mortality rate ratios (MRRs) using multivariable Poisson regression. All-site cancer mortality was slightly higher among foreign-born than Sweden-born men (MRR = 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.04–1.07), but similar mortality risks was found among foreign-born and Sweden-born women. Men born in Angola, Laos, and Cambodia had the highest cancer mortality risk. Women born in all countries except Iceland, Denmark, and Mexico had a similar or smaller risk than women born in Sweden. Cancer-specific mortality analysis showed an increased risk for cervical and lung cancer in both sexes but a decreased risk for colon, breast, and prostate cancer mortality among foreign-born compared with Sweden-born individuals. Further studies are required to fully understand the causes of the observed inequalities in mortality across levels of education and countries of birth.

Number and rate of new cancer cases diagnosed annually from 1992 to the most recent diagnosis year available. Included are all invasive cancers and in situ bladder cancer with cases defined using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Groups for Primary Site based on the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3). Random rounding of case counts to the nearest multiple of 5 is used to prevent inappropriate disclosure of health-related information.

Cancer is one of the biggest health challenges worldwide. As of 2021, around 15% of all deaths were cancer deaths, making it one of the most common causes of death globally.

Cancers are a group of diseases in which abnormal cells multiply rapidly and can grow into tumors. They can develop in different parts of the body and, in some cases, spread to other organs through the blood and lymph systems.

As the global population grows larger and older, the number of cancer cases has also increased. However, the age-standardized death rate from cancer has declined over time in many countries — due to improvements in diagnosis, research, medical advances, and public health efforts, as well as reductions in risk factors such as smoking and some cancer-causing pathogens.

On this page, we explore global data and research on different types of cancer. This can help us better understand the risk factors for cancer, how cancer risks vary across the lifespan, how they differ worldwide, and how they have changed over time.

🌍 The Societal Impact of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is not just a disease — it's a global crisis that steals time, health, and hope from millions of people every year. As the #1 cause of cancer deaths worldwide, it takes more lives annually than breast, colon, and prostate cancer combined.

But behind every statistic is a story:

A parent who never saw their child graduate.

A worker who had to leave their job too soon.

A community that lost a leader, a friend, a neighbor.

Why does this matter? Lung cancer often goes undetected until it's too late. It’s aggressive, silent, and devastating — especially in underserved areas where early detection is rare and treatment options are limited. It doesn’t just affect patients. It affects families, economies, and healthcare systems on a massive scale.

This dataset represents more than numbers. It represents 800,000 real-world stories — people who can help us unlock patterns, train models, and advance life-saving research.

By working with this data, you're not just analyzing a dataset — you're stepping into the fight against one of humanity’s deadliest diseases.

Let’s turn insight into impact. (😊The above descriptions is generated with the help of AI, Just wanted to share this dataset That all. Thank you)

BACKGROUND Comprehensive analyses of statistical data on breast cancer incidence, mortality, and associated risk factors are of great value for decision-making related to reducing the disease burden of breast cancer. METHODS: Based on data from the Annual Report of China Tumour Registry and the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), we conducted summary and trend analyses of incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer in Chinese women from 2014 to 2018 for urban and rural areas in the whole, eastern, central, and western parts of the country, and projected the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer for 2019 in comparison with the GBD 2019 estimates. And the comparative risk assessment framework estimated risk factors contributing to breast cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from GBD. RESULTS: The Annual Report of the Chinese Tumour Registry showed that showed that the mortality rate of breast cancer declined and the incidence rate remained largely unchanged from 2014 to 2018. There was a significant increasing trend in incidence rates among urban and rural women in eastern China and rural women in central China, whereas there was a significant decreasing trend in mortality rates among rural women in China. The two data sources have some differences in their predictions of breast cancer in China in 2019. The GBD data estimated the age-standard DALYs rates of high body-mass index, high fasting plasma glucose and diet high in red meat, which are the top three risk factors attributable to breast cancer in Chinese women, to be 29.99/100,000, 13.66/100,000 and 13.44/100,000, respectively. Conclusion: The trend of breast cancer incidence and mortality rates shown in the Annual Report of China Tumour Registry indicates that China has achieved remarkable results in reducing the burden of breast cancer, but there is still a need to further improve breast cancer screening and early diagnosis and treatment, and to improve the system of primary prevention. The GBD database provides risk factors for breast cancer in the world, Asia, and China, and lays the foundation for research on effective measures to reduce the burden of breast cancer.

ObjectivesStomach cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death, and its epidemiologic characteristics are regionally heterogeneous worldwide. The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russian Federation, India, China, and South Africa) have markedly increasing influences on the international stage. We aim to investigate time trends in stomach cancer mortality among the BRICS countries from 1982 to 2021.MethodsData for this study were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 public dataset to investigate the deaths, all-age mortality rate, and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of stomach cancer. The age-period-cohort (APC) model was employed to estimate net drift, local drift, age-specific curves, and period (cohort) relative risks, and the Bayesian generalized linear model was employed to evaluate the relationship between food intake and mortality rate.ResultsIn 2021, there were approximately 572,000 stomach cancer deaths across the BRICS, accounting for 59.9% of global death. Russian Federation exhibited the most significant reduction in ASMR of stomach cancer among the BRICS. In contrast, China continued to report the highest number of stomach cancer deaths. The risk of mortality associated with stomach cancer exhibited a marked increase with advancing age, both within these countries and at the global level. PUFA, sodium, calcium and trans fat may have an impact on the mortality rate of stomach cancer. Favorable trends in period and birth cohort effects were observed in these five nations over the past decades.ConclusionBRICS countries have made varying progress in reducing stomach cancer mortality. Given the diverse environments, it is recommended to progressively develop customized stomach cancer prevention strategies, utilizing available resources. Healthcare services should be extended to all age groups, with a particular emphasis on vulnerable populations.
