In 2022, there were nearly 20 million new cases of cancer and 9.7 million deaths globally, with lung cancer being the most commonly diagnosed and the leading cause of cancer death. Breast and lung cancer were the most frequent cancers in both men and women.

The statistics emphasize the significance of addressing cancer as a worldwide health concern and the importance of implementing strategies for prevention, early detection, and treatment.
