hello,
greetings from Europe, i apologize for my English grammar, it is not my first language.
Need help with how to calculate cancer rate in humans.
I am discussing this issue on other forum, there is a guy who argues, that every fifth person has a cancer. (20% of the all population worlwide)
I can't believe it, it seems too high.
I have googled a little, i have read, that 1 person out of 100 has a cancer, this is closer to what i would accept, but anyway,
is there any way how to calculate it? When you take some data from internet, there are some numbers available, like for instance
"According to estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC),
in 2012 there were 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million cancer deaths worldwide."
Today, there is 7,400,000,000 humans on Earth.
But i assume you have to count in some previous years as well. Or are more data needed in order to calculate this correctly ?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you
Martin
