Globocan estimated that there were 23,218 new cancer cases in Malaysian females in 2018, with 12,458 deaths.
Globocan– an acronym for Global Cancer Incidence, Mortality and Prevalence – is a project of the International Agency for Research on Cancer that provides estimates by cancer site and sex using the best available data in each country and several methods of estimation.that there were 23,218 new cancer cases in Malaysian females in 2018, with 12,458 deaths.
Breast cancer occurred more frequently in Malaysia compared to Thailand and China, but less frequently than in Singapore, according to the report. The number of avoidable deaths is the difference between the number of deaths estimated by Globocan 12 for Malaysia and the expected number of deaths if all patients with breast cancer had experienced the age-ethnic-stage specific survival outcomes observed in the private hospital above.
The authors concluded: “The huge number of avoidable deaths highlights the high cancer mortality rate among the deprived and vast disparity in access to cancer care between the rich and poor in Malaysia, which mirrors the global cancer divide between rich and poor countries.” The study found that the proportion of previously-solvent patients who experienced economic hardship following a cancer diagnosis was highest in Malaysia and Indonesia , and lowest in Thailand .
