Cancer incidence and mortality increase rapidly worldwide,making cancer the major cause of death in most regions.Understanding the current cancer burden in different regions is necessary to find out potential risk factors and generate strategies for cancer control.The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has recently provided a status report about the global burden of cancer by estimating the incidence and mortality for 36 cancers in 185 countries (Bray et al.,2018).In this article,we will summarize the dis-tribution of the major cancer types in different regions and reveal the global cancer pattern.In addition,we will stress the potential.risk factors responsible for the increase of cancer burden and the importance of medical allocation for cancer control.
