2013年12月16日讯 /生物谷BIOON/ --根据世界卫生组织发布的调查结果显示,2012年全世界确诊患有癌症的患者已经超过1400万人次。而2008年这一数字是1270万。与此同时,2012年因癌症死亡的人数也从2008年的760万增加到了820万。这两组数字的激增与发展中国家经济发展相伴的生活方式改变有很大关系,另外发展中国家的工业化也促使这一数字的提升。另一方面,吸烟与肥胖也被认为与这些情况有直接联系。调查显示吸烟能够直接诱发肺癌,而2012年有越180万人确诊患有肺癌,占癌症新增患者人数的13%之多。另外,WHO也指出乳腺癌患者也大大增加。同时WHO还预测,2025年预计每年新确诊癌症患者将达到190万人之多。

有鉴于此,WHO呼吁世界各国重视癌症检测、治疗等研究的发展。(生物谷Bioon.com)

详细英文报道:

The number of people being diagnosed with cancer in the world each year has leaped to more than 14 million, the World Health Organization says.

The data for 2012 shows a marked rise on the 12.7 million cases in 2008.

In that time the number of deaths has also increased, from 7.6 million to 8.2 million.

The rising burden of cancer is being driven by a rapid shift in lifestyles in the developing world to more closely reflect industrialised countries.

Rising rates of smoking and obesity as well as people living longer are contributing to the rise.

Lung cancer, which is mainly caused by smoking, was the most common cancer globally, with 1.8 million cases - about 13% of the total.

The WHO also described a "sharp rise" in cases of breast cancer. Both the incidence and mortality have increased since 2008. The disease in now the most common cancer in women in 140 countries.

Dr David Forman, from the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, said: "Breast cancer is also a leading cause of cancer death in the less developed countries of the world.

"This is partly because a shift in lifestyles is causing an increase in incidence, and partly because clinical advances to combat the disease are not reaching women living in these regions."

The WHO said there was an "urgent need" for the advances made in detection, diagnoses and treatment of breast cancer to be implemented in developing nations.

The WHO predicts the number of cancer cases will soar to more than 19 million a year by 2025.
