Summary
Cancer incidence and mortality are significant global health challenges. In 2000, 10 million new cancer cases and 6 million deaths occurred, with lung and breast cancers being most common. Lifestyle factors influence cancer burden.
Area of Science:
- Global oncology
- Cancer epidemiology
- Public health
Background:
- Estimating the global cancer burden is crucial for developing effective control strategies.
- Cancer incidence, mortality, and prevalence data inform public health interventions.
- Understanding cancer's global impact is a prerequisite for targeted prevention and treatment efforts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the latest global cancer statistics for incidence, mortality, and prevalence.
- To identify the most common cancer types worldwide.
- To explore factors contributing to variations in cancer burden across populations.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the most recent available international data for cancer statistics.
- Analyzed data to determine new cases, deaths, and prevalence in a specific year.
- Examined population-specific cancer profiles and contributing factors.
Main Results:
- In 2000, there were 10 million new cancer cases, 6 million deaths, and 22 million people living with cancer globally.
- The most common cancers were lung (1.2 million), breast (1.05 million), colorectal (945,000), stomach (876,000), and liver (564,000).
- Significant variations in cancer profiles exist across populations, linked to lifestyle and environmental factors.
Conclusions:
- Cancer represents a substantial global health burden with significant variations influenced by modifiable factors.
- Preventive interventions targeting lifestyle and environment are essential.
- Population growth and aging are projected to increase the cancer burden significantly by 2020.

01:33Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

02:59Cancer Prevention
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.
