With a sharp increase in incidence and mortality over the last 20 years, cancer has become a major
global health concern. The comparative annual growth of various cancer types is highlighted, the role of
contemporary medical interventions in reducing this trend is reviewed, and a thorough statistical
analysis of global cancer trends from 2000 to 2022 is presented. Although demographic changes like
urbanization and aging populations have increased the overall number of cases, age-standardized
incidence and mortality rates have stabilized or decreased. Advances in immunotherapy, targeted
therapies, early screening, and the use of artificial intelligence in diagnostics have all been largely
responsible for this. Regional disparities are also covered in the paper, with a focus on the necessity of
fair access to healthcare in order to maintain and improve the progress made in cancer control.
