Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death, and its prevalence is rising worldwide. More than half of cancer cases and 60% of deaths caused by it happen in less developed countries; nevertheless, with lifestyle changes similar to the Western ones, cancer rates in developing countries are growing (Khazael et al., 2019). The International Agency for Research on Cancer produced the Globocan (2018) projected rate of cancer cases and mortality, focusing on regional diversity across twenty geographical regions. In 2018, it was predicted that there would be 18.1 million new cancer diagnoses and 9.6 million cancer deaths. Lung cancer accounts for 11.6% of all cancer diagnoses in both men and women combined, and it is also the leading cause of cancer death (18.4% percent of all cancer deaths). Female breast cancer is closely behind lung cancer in terms of incidence, coming in at 11.6%, followed by prostate cancer (7.1%), colorectal cancer (6.1%), colon cancer (9.2%), stomach cancer (8.2%), and liver cancer (8.2%) (Bray et al., 2018).
