Cancers 'rising around the world' Smitha Mundasad Global health correspondent, BBC News 12 September 2018 There will be 18.1 million new cases of cancer and 9.6 million people will die with the disease this year worldwide, a report predicts. The rise, from 14.1 million cases and 8.2 million deaths in 2012, is partly due to a growing and ageing population. The figures suggest one in five men and one in six women will develop the disease in their lifetime. And as countries become wealthier, more people get cancers related to lifestyle rather than those linked to poverty. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) provides regular snapshots of the scale of cancer around the world, looking closely at 36 different cancers in 185 countries. Researchers say while ways of measuring and collecting cancer data have improved over the years, the overall trend is that cancer rates and deaths have risen year on year. The latest report suggests lung cancer, female breast cancer, and bowel cancer are responsible for a third of all cancer cases and deaths worldwide. 'Tobacco control' And the authors say lung cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in women in 28 countries. The worst hit countries include the USA, Hungary, Denmark, China and New Zealand. George Butterworth, from the charity Cancer Research UK, said: \"Tobacco is the single biggest reason why more women across the world are getting lung cancer than ever before. \"In the UK smoking among women became more prolific later than it did for men, so it's not surprising that we're seeing increasing lung cancer rates now. \"Similarly, cigarettes are now increasingly popular among women in low and middle income countries and the tobacco industry's aggressive marketing to them is influencing this.\" Meanwhile, Dr. Freddie Bray, of the IARC, said: \"The results highlight the need to continue to put in place targeted and effective tobacco control policies in every country in the world.\" 'Extraordinary diversity' Overall, the report estimates, nearly half of all cases and most cancer deaths in the world this year will occur in Asia, partly because of the large numbers of people living in the continent and partly because some cancers with higher death rates are more common in this region. This includes, for example, high rates of liver cancer, which generally has a poor prognosis, in China. Beyond this, the authors say, there is \"extraordinary diversity\" in the types of cancer and patterns of illness around the world. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-45497304

Week: 2 Title: Cancers ‘rising around the world’ Author: Smitha Mundasad (Global health correspondent, BBC News) Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-45497304 Summary The number of people who die from cancer and the new cases of cancer are increasing year on year worldwide. Most of people in wealthier countries get cancers related to their lifestyle rather than those linked to poverty. The latest report from The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) suggests lung cancer, female breast cancer, and bowel cancer are in the highest rank of cancer cases and deaths worldwide. For tobacco control, lung cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in women. George Butterworth, from the Charity Cancer Research UK adds details \"Tobacco is the single biggest reason why more women are getting lung cancer than ever before. \"In the UK smoking among women became more prolific than men.” Nowadays, cigarettes are increasingly popular among women, and the tobacco industry's aggressive marketing is influencing. Meanwhile, Dr. Freddie Bray from IARC, said “We need to put in place targeted and effective tobacco control policies in every country in the world.\" Overall, the report estimates, in this year most of cancer deaths occur in Asia, because of the large numbers of people. It also includes high rates of liver cancer which has a poor prognosis in China. My reaction/reflection: I understand this news so well because I read until I know what’s the writer want readers to understand about this content. For me, this news is easy to read, story content is reliable, and clear. I don’t know the meaning of some words, but after I learnt word analysis, I can guess from the context clue, such as female breast cancer, and bowel cancer. I don’t know what does bowel means, but when I see female breast, I guess bowel must be an organ. This news tells us indirectly that we should treat our health rather than before because the amount of people who get cancer and die from cancer are increasing severely. I think human behaviors; due to smoking, drinking, and eating cause cancer. Popularity and living condition are also cause cancer. On the other hand, some countries don’t have completely medical profession for recovery.
