Cancer cases are continuously increasing all over the world including India. In this connection, a serious warning regarding breast cancer has also emerged. In fact, according to a new report published in the medical journal The Lancet, if concrete steps are not taken in time, breast cancer can become a big challenge for the global system in the coming years. The report estimates that by 2050, the number of new cases of breast cancer in women could reach 3.56 million. The same estimated figures are said to be between 2.29 million to 4.83 million. Not only the cases but also the figures of deaths are worrying, according to the report, global deaths due to breast cancer may reach 1.37 million by 2050. This estimate ranges from 8.41 lakh to 20.2 lakh. At present, about 7.64 lakh deaths are occurring every year, which may increase by 44 percent in the coming 25 years.
Deaths may increase by 44 percent in the next 25 years
It has been said in this research that if the system of prevention, screening and treatment of breast cancer is not strengthened, then by 2050 the number of annual deaths can reach about 14 lakhs. Experts believe that despite progress in medical science, many countries are not prepared to deal with the increasing cases. At the same time, the situation can become more dangerous in countries with weak health infrastructure.
Cases increased in India after 1990
Concern has also been expressed over the situation in India in the report. In India, the burden of breast cancer has increased 5 times in the last 3 decades. Changing lifestyle, urbanization, motherhood in the country, lack of breastfeeding, obesity and lack of early detection have been counted as its main reasons. In India, this cancer has now become one of the most common cancers among women, especially in urban areas. Regarding this, doctors say that a large number of women are identified in the last stage of the disease, due to which treatment becomes difficult and the death rate increases.
Clear difference between rich and poor countries
At the same time, it has also been clearly stated in this report that in high-income countries, the rate of new cases is stable and the death rate has decreased. The reason for this is better screening, timely testing and modern treatment systems. At the same time, an increase in both new cases and deaths is being seen in low and middle income countries. Lack of radiotherapy machines, limited access to chemotherapy medicines and high cost of treatment are major problems in these countries. At the global level, the share of these countries in new cases is 27 percent, but their share in total diseases and premature deaths related to breast cancer is more than 45 percent.
