A new study warns that cases of breast cancer worldwide can increase by about 40 percent by 2050. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) analyzed data from more than 50 countries and found that the number of cases was increasing rapidly. The conclusions published in Nature Medicine show immediate need for action.

Why is breast cancer growing? Currently, 1 out of 20 women worldwide will detect breast cancer during their lifetime. In 2022, around 2.3 million new cases and 670,000 deaths occurred. If the trend continues, by 2050, there may be 3.2 million new cases and 1.1 million deaths every year.

The study found that Lower Human Development Index (HDI) is likely to suffer the most among countries with scores. One of the researchers, Dr. Joan Kim explained, “Every minute, four women find out breast cancer, and a woman dies. The situation is deteriorating. ,

Survival rate varies from the country

Survival likely depends so much where a person lives. In high-H-HDI countries, 17 of every 100 women suffering from breast cancer do not survive. In cum-HDI countries, more than half (56 out of 100) do not make it. The main reason for this difference is the initial identity, timely diagnosis and lack of quality treatment in the lower-ADI countries.

Why are cases increasing?

The study found that in the last decade, cases of breast cancer in many high-HDI countries are increasing by 1-5 percent every year. Experts say that there are some factors behind the increase in unhealthy diet, obesity, low physical activity and delayed pregnancies, growth, growth. While initial detection and better remedies have helped in some areas, the number of cases continues to increase.

What needs to be done?

Experts believe that immediate action is required to prevent more cases and deaths. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends promoting healthy lifestyles, increasing awareness and improving initial detection and improvement to treatment. WHO’s global breast cancer initiative aims to reduce deaths by ensuring better health services for all women.

Dr. from IARC Isabel Sargomataram emphasized the need for better cancer records: “Accurate data is important to fight breast cancer, especially in lower and moderate income countries. Without proper tracking, effective solutions are difficult to plan. ,

What can we do?

As such as breast cancer cases continue to increase, global efforts are required to stop the difference in healthcare access. Governments, health organizations and people should work together to ensure all women, no matter where they live, quickly detection and access to life -saving treatment. With the right steps, millions of people can be saved in the coming decades.
