The United States has the highest cancer rate in the world, with a high incidence of breast, lung, prostate, colon and rectum, and skin melanoma cancers. However, the US may have a high cancer rate due to its effective cancer screening tests, which can detect cancer that might otherwise go undiagnosed.
Here are some other countries with high cancer rates: China Has a high number of cancer cases, with an age-standardized rate (ASR) of 201.6 India Ranked third in the world for cancer cases in 2020, with an ASR of 98.5 Hungary Had the highest overall mortality rate from lung cancer in 2022 Some risk factors for cancer include: Tobacco use Alcohol consumption Unhealthy diet Physical inactivity Air pollution Chronic infections, such as hepatitis B and C, human papillomavirus (HPV), and HIV 2 The highest cancer rate for men and women combined was in Australia at 462.5 people per 100,000 when all cancers were included. This changed to Denmark when NMSC was excluded (349.8 per 100,000). A further table below includes global cancer incidence excluding NMSC. There were several countries for which the age-standardised rate was at least 300 per 100,000 when NMSC was excluded including: United States of America France Ireland 3 The highest cancer rate among men was found in Australia at 514.3 per 100,000. This changed to Lithuania when NMSC was excluded (386.4 per 100,000). Several countries had age standardised rate of at least 300 per 100,000, including: United Kingdom The Netherland Spain United States of America 4 The highest cancer rate in women was in Australia at 415.2 per 100,000. This changed to Denmark when NMSC was excluded (340.8 per 100,000). Several countries had agestandardised rate of at least 300 per 100,000, including: Norway The Netherlands Australia 5 Currently, the cancer capital of the India is located in Kerala, which has the highest incidence of crude cancer cases in the country. Several factors like smoking, diet imbalances, pollution, stress, and physical inactivity lead to the spread of a variety of non-communicable diseases. And Kerala cancer is one of them. According to the National Family Health Survey, 2019-20, 16.9% of men in Kerala were found to be addicted to tobacco. 6 Types of treatable but not curable cancer Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Chronic myeloid leukaemia. Myeloma. Pleural mesothelioma. Secondary brain tumours. Secondary breast cancer. Secondary bone cancer. Secondary liver cancer. 7 Why is cancer so high in the US? An obvious focus for rising cancer rates is the vicious circle of obesity, highly processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles, which are an epidemic in America and growing in many countries. “We know obesity causes inflammation, which can lead to cancer,” explains Dr. Goldfarb. 8 OBESITY Countries with high obesity rates include: Tonga: 72% of adults in Tonga are obese Nauru: 70% of adults in Nauru are obese Cook Islands: 69% of adults in the Cook Islands are obese Niue: 67% of adults in Niue are obese American Samoa: 75.21% of the population is obese Tokelau: 69.82% of the population is obese Tuvalu: 64.2% of the population is obese Samoa: 62.43% of the population is obese French Polynesia: 48.09% of the population is obese The Bahamas: 47.26% of the population is obese The World Health Organization (WHO) declared obesity a "global epidemic" in 1997. Obesity is a chronic disease that affects both adults and children, and is prevalent in both developed and developing countries. Factors that contribute to obesity include: Dietary patterns Lower levels of physical activity Rapid economic development Increased availability of cars Greater use of mechanized appliances Widespread use of computers, televisions, and electronic gaming devices 9 So USA obesity is the cause is unworkable. The real obese do not get that cancer. Somalia is so poor and they are also not in the list of cancer. 10 In Ayurvedic concept, according to ‘Charaka’ and ‘Sushruta Samhitas’ cancer is described as inflammatory or non-inflammatory swelling and mentioned either as ‘Granthi’ (minor neoplasm) or ‘Arbuda‘ (major neoplasm). The nervous system (Vata or air), the venous system (Pitta or fire) and the arterial system (Kapha or water) are three basics of Ayurveda and very important for normal body function. In malignant tumors all three systems get out of control (Tridoshas) and lose mutual coordination that causes tissue damage, resulting critical condition. Tridoshas cause excessive metabolic crisis resulting in proliferation. The modern cancer therapy which is known to burdened by drug-induced toxic side effects hoping perfect cure of disease form the complementary and alternative medicine system. The main goal of Ayurvedic therapy is to find the ultimate cause of an illness while the therapeutic approach of Ayurveda is divided into four categories as Prakritisthapani chikitsa (health maintenance), Rasayana chikitsa, (restoration of normal function), Roganashani chikitsa (disease cure) and Naishthiki chikitsa (spiritual approach). Commonly used herbal decoctions reported in Ayurveda are made of multiple herbs possessing great potential for a cancer cure; scientifically these formulations work on multiple biochemical pathways and influence different organ systems all together and nourish the body as a whole by supporting body‘s deference systems. Herbs help total healing, reduces the side effects and cancer-associated complications. Andrographis paniculata, Annona atemoya, Phyllanthus niruri, Piper longum, Podophyllum hexandrum, Tinospora cordifolia, Semecarpus anacardium, Vitis vinifera, Baliospermum montanum, Madhuca indica, Pandanus odoratissimum, Pterospermum acerifolium, Raphanus sativus, Barleria prionitis, Prosopis cineraria, Amorphopallus campanulatus, Oxoxylum indicum, Basella rubra, Flacourtia romantchi, Moringa oleifera, Ficus bengalensis, Curcuma domestica, Allium sativum, Calotropis gigantean, Datura metel, Hygrophila spinosa, Juniperus indica, Moringa oleifera, Nigella sativa, Picrorrhiza kurroa, Rubia cordifolia, etc. are various plants having scientific evidence of anticancer property. Nowadays, many herbs are under clinical studies and being investigated phytochemically to understand their anticancer potential. More than 25% of drugs used during the last 20 years are directly derived from plants, while the other 25% are chemically altered natural products. Nine plant-derived compounds including vinblastine, vincristine, etoposide, teniposide, taxol, navelbine, taxotere, topotecan and irinotecan have been approved for use as anticancer drugs. 10-hydroxycamptothecin, monocrotaline, d-tetrandrine, lycobetaine, indirubin, colchicinamide, curcumol, curdione, gossypol and Hom harringtonine are few more plant-derived compounds of high hope Each herb contains multiple active principles that often operate synergistically producing therapeutic benefits and lowering the risks of adverse effects; and avoids the need for supplemental therapy to manage cancer cachexia. Now it is important to raise awareness and encourage implementation of Ayurvedic therapies for combating cancer and suggest an integrated approach in tumour management and treatment. 11 RV 9 97 18: “(Soma), when filtered loose (me) bound (by sin) as (one loose) a knot; (grant me) a straight path and strength.
