Global cancer data by country
Exploring the total global cancer burden – incidence, rates and mortality.
On this page
On this page you can find a wealth of data related to global cancer statistics. This includes the latest numbers for incidence and mortality, as well as age-standardised rates (ASR).
Initially we include non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) — to give a clear picture of total cancers globally — then further tables with NMSC excluded.
A total of 19,976,499 cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2022. The age-standardised rate for all cancers for men and women combined was 196.9 per 100,000 in 2022. The rate was higher for men (212.6 per 100,000) than women (186.3 per 100,000).
When non-melanoma skin cancer was excluded the number of cancers globally dropped to 18,741,066 with a rate of 186.5 per 100,000. For men the figure was 9,566,825 with a rate of 198.6 and for women, 9,175,141 with a rate of 178.9.
With the burden growing in almost every country, preventing cancer is a significant public health challenge. Around 40% of cancer cases could be prevented by tackling risk factors relating to diet, nutrition and physical activity — for more information see our Cancer Prevention Recommendations.
Reducing the cancer burden requires concerted and integrated action across society, including civil society, private sector, and health and other professions. Browse our policy section to see how we’re working with others to help make this happen.
Age-standardised rates (ASR) are a summary measure of the rate of disease that a population would have if it had a standard age structure. Standardisation is necessary when comparing populations that differ with respect to age because age has a powerful influence on the risk of developing/dying from cancer.
It is important to note that some countries have a high ASR but a low total number of cases, while other have a low ASR but a high number of cases. This is because ASRs are reported per 100,000 people. So, for example, an ASR of 10 in a population of 100,000 = 10 cases of cancer, but an ASR of 1 in a population of 10 million = 100 cases.
Global cancer incidence: both sexes
The highest cancer rate for men and women combined was in Australia at 462.5 people per 100,000 when all cancers were included.
This changed to Denmark when NMSC was excluded (349.8 per 100,000). A further table below includes global cancer incidence excluding NMSC.
There were several countries for which the age-standardised rate was at least 300 per 100,000 when NMSC was excluded including:
- United States of America
- France
- Ireland

Cancer incidence in men
The highest cancer rate among men was found in Australia at 514.3 per 100,000. This changed to Lithuania when NMSC was excluded (386.4 per 100,000). Several countries had age-standardised rate of at least 300 per 100,000, including:
- United Kingdom
- The Netherland
- Spain
- United States of America
