A number of risk factors have been identified as the reasons behind nearly 4.45 million cancer deaths worldwide in 2019, new research has suggested.
The study is the first ever to estimate how a list of 34 risk factors in total could contribute to the deaths of people diagnosed with cancer and ill health globally, regionally and nationally. This study was also devised across age groups, for both sexes and over time.
According to the newest figures, 4.45 million represents 44.4 per cent of all cancer deaths across the globe. However, the data has discovered that the UK cancer death number is above the global average, sitting at 49.7 per cent.
