Every year, in Russia alone, cancer takes regarding 300,000 lives. Over the past two years, this number has increased, the coronavirus pandemic has played a significant role in this: people have become less likely to visit doctors due to the workload of medical facilities or a simple fear of getting infected.
The leaders in prevalence both in Russia and in the world are:
-
lung cancer,
-
cancer of the stomach and intestines,
-
breast cancer
-
cervical cancer.
Despite the fact that now a dangerous disease at an early stage is almost always treatable, mortality continues to be high. One of the main reasons for such sad statistics is too late to see a doctor. People often ignore the symptoms, and go to see a specialist when they “have no strength to endure.”
