The risk of cancer is different in both men and women and it is not just limited to the structure of the body. Lifestyle, hormonal effects, genetic and social-economic regions also play an important role in this. Let us tell you in detail about it.
Global data male vs women
Global figures show that the total incidents of cancer in men are more than that of women. In 2022, cancer cases in men were 10.6 million, while in women it was 9.3 million. However, certain types of cancer are found more in women. These include breast cancer and liver cancer etc. At the same time, more cases of langs, prostate and liver cancer are found in men.
The risk of cancer is increasing in women
In recent years, cancer cases have increased rapidly in women under the age of 50, especially in women. According to the report of the US Cancer Society, in 2002, the cases of cancer in women were 51 percent higher than men, which has increased to 82 percent by 2025. The main reason for this growth is an increase in breast and thyroid cancer, which after becoming a late mother, belong to obesity, alcohol consumption and unhealthy lifestyle.
Cancer and mortality in men
Despite the high cases of total cancer in men, their mortality is also high. For example, men’s mortality in melanoma (skin cancer) is higher than that of women. The reason for this may be the lack of their skin thickness, genetic structure and regular health check -up.
Hormonal and genetic causes
Hormonal effects also affect the risk of cancer. Estrogen and progesterone hormones in women increase the risk of breast and uterus cancer, while testosterone hormone in men affects the risk of prostate cancer. Apart from this, genetic factors such as BRCA gene mutations increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in women.
What do doctors say?
Dr. Naveen Kumar, an oncologist of AIIMS Jhajjar, says that in total, the risk of cancer in men and women is different. It depends on factors related to physical, hormonal, genetic and lifestyle. Some specific types of cancer cases have increased in women, while in men there are more cancer cases. Regular health checkup, healthy lifestyle and timely treatment can reduce the risk of cancer to a great extent. Remember, cancer is not limited to any one penis. Right care and awareness is the best way to stop it.
