Cancer causes 55k deaths in Iran each year

Tehran, IRNA – Approximately 55,000 Iranians lose their lives to cancer each year. However, experts suggest that lifestyle changes could potentially reduce the risk of premature death from this disease.

The report reveals that out of the total 122,000 premature deaths under the age of 70, cancer is responsible for 34,000. Similarly, cancer is the cause of 11,000 out of 85,000 premature deaths under the age of 50.

Looking ahead, the situation appears to be worsening. The number of new cancer cases is predicted to rise to 160,000 in the Iranian calendar year 1404 (March 20, 2024, until March 20, 2025), marking a 42% increase.

The most significant increases are expected in the following types of cancer compared to the Iranian calendar year 1395 (March 20, 2016, until March 20, 2017): Thyroid cancers (114%), prostate cancers (67%), breast cancers (63%), colon cancers (54%), ovarian cancer (51%), lung cancers (49%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer (45%), brain and nervous system cancer (40%), stomach cancer (30%), bladder cancer (26%), and leukemia (24%).

The report also suggests that Iranians can reduce the risk of premature death from cancer by making lifestyle changes.
