Evaluation of the Cancer Transition Theory in the US, Select European Nations, and Japan by Investigating Mortality of Infectious- and Noninfectious-Related Cancers, 1950-2018

Abstract: Key Points Question As nations develop, do they experience a systematic pattern in cancer trends by type, distinguishing between infectious-related and noninfectious-related cancers? Findings This cross-sectional study of 6 countries’ cancer mortality data from 1950 to 2018 found that a crossover in trends between the 2 main types of cancers (infectious-related and noninfectious-related) took place around 1990 in Japan and in the mid-1950s in Norway.

“…Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide and the leading cause of death in developed and developing countries (Ferlay et al, 2018). Moreover, cancer incidence and mortality are quickly growing worldwide for different reasons, including aging, population growth and socioeconomic development (Gersten and Barbieri, 2021). Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth caused by several genetic and epigenetic changes in genes that control cell proliferation or regulate cell death (Garcia-Oliveira et al, 2021).…”

“…According to the World Health Organization, cancer has become the first or second leading cause of death in people below 70 years in 112 out of 183 countries and ranked third or fourth in 23 more countries in 2019 [2]. Worldwide, the burden of cancer incidence and mortality is growing due to population aging and growth and the changes in the prevalence and distribution of major cancer risk factors, including those related to socioeconomic development [3,4].…”
