Rising Cancer Deaths in Developing Countries Is Linked to Lifestyle Change

Lifestyles change linked to economic growth in developing countries are driving up the global incidence of several cancers, report the American Cancer Society.

The issued report, “Global Cancer Facts & Figures,” stated that lung, breast and colorectal cancers are particularly vulnerable to the rise.

In fact, most of the new cancer cases and deaths in the world (7.1 million and 4.8 million, respectively) are occurring in developing countries and this shows the growing adoption of unhealthy behaviors – such as smoking, sedentary lifestyles and poor diets – that typically come with economic development, as the report said.
