million people die from cancer globally every year. The disease places an enormous burden on countries and communities. Cancer control aims to lessen this burden.

The number of cancer cases and deaths are increasing the fastest in low- and middle-income countries due to <a href="/what-we-do/thematic-areas-work/cancer-and-ageing">ageing populations</a>, a shift to urban lifestyles and a growing exposure to risk factors such as <a href="/what-we-do/thematic-areas-work/tobacco-control">tobacco</a> and alcohol consumption. Health care systems are often under-resourced and governments have not been able to make cancer control a priority.</p> <p>In high-income countries, there are important differences in people’s ability to access cancer services and the level of care is not the same for everyone. This leads to a higher number of cancer cases and deaths in some populations.  </p> <p>Effective (and adequately financed) <a href="/what-we-do/advocacy/cancer-planning">cancer control plans</a> are needed everywhere to stop the growing cancer burden and to help more people survive this disease regardless of race, age, gender, location, social or economic status. </p></div> </div> </qz-section>
