Researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle analyzed data on morbidity and mortality. Oncological diseases, as it turned out, have become an extremely serious problem in most countries of the world..

Every year the number of diagnosed cases of cancer increases.. Mortality does not decrease.. Even the development of medical technologies does not allow to curb mortality in oncology.

In 2015, 17.5 million people were diagnosed with cancer. About 8 million died from cancer. At the moment, cancer develops in the course of life in every third man and every fourth woman..

In countries with a developed economic system and a high standard of living, oncology overtakes cardiovascular diseases in terms of mortality.. In developing countries with economies in transition, the incidence of cancer is also rapidly increasing.

In Russia, the situation with oncological diseases is alarming. Over 10 years, the number of patients with cancer has increased by 18%. This figure is most likely underestimated due to late diagnosis and some other reasons.. Less than half of patients receive qualified and comprehensive care for oncology. It should be noted that with timely detection of the disease and early treatment, the chances of a full recovery are high.. That is why doctors advise to be regularly examined and monitor their own health..
