This artical is about cancer globally.All contents comes from WHO's report in 2015--Health in 2015 from MDGs to SDGs.Here are what we should pay attention.We will analyse it.
In 2012, the worldwide incidence of cancer rose to an estimated 14 million new cases per year, with an estimated 8.2 million cancer deaths.Globally, in 2012 the most common cancers diagnosed were those those of the lung (1.8 million cases, 13% of the total), breast (1.7 million, 11.9%) and colon (1.4 million, 9.7%):
The most common causes of cancer death were cancers of the lung (1.6 million, 19.4% of total cancer deaths),liver (0.7 million, 9.1%) and stomach (0.7 million, 8.8%).

Lack of access to effective, timely diagnosis and treatment: In the absence of effective early detection programmes such as cancer awareness or screening, patients are diagnosed at very late stages when curative treatment is no longer an option. Population-based screening methods have been implemented for cancer of the cervix, breast and colon-rectum in some high-income countries. Screening, however, is not widely implemented as the necessary resources are not available in most regions. Furthermore, diagnostic services including histopathology and treatment access are poor in many low- and lower-middle-income countries, resulting in high cancerrelated mortality. Immediate investment in human resources, health services and sustainable supply chains are needed to provide timely diagnosis and treatment.
From WHO's report about cancer,we humankinds should take care of our own health,not only the money and other material things.
