Abstract:
As the second most common cause of death in the world, cancer has become a persistent public health challenge. The incidence and mortality in different countries and regions or of multiple cancer types are significantly different, which is closely related to economic development level, lifestyle and environmental factors. A large number of epidemiological studies have focused on cancer burden, epidemic pattern, etiology and prevention, which is very important for the government to formulate cancer prevention policies based on medical evidence and protect population health. Therefore, based on the latest epidemiological publications, this paper reviews the incidence and mortality of cancer as well as the time trend in major countries and areas.
