developed Statistically, one in three Europeans in the course of his life cancer. [11] In Germany, approximately 395,000 people suffer from cancer each year, of which about 195,000 women and 200,000 men. Most cases occur at the age of over 60 years. Make under 60 with about 107 000 cases, only about Quarters of new cases of cancer. A U.S. study found that worldwide around 20,000 people die every day from the effects of cancer. Overall, it is then given in 2007 about 7.6 million deaths from cancer - of which 4.7 million in developing countries. The total number of all new cancers diagnosed worldwide each year is given to this source, with 12.3 million. This is the first estimate of its kind by the death of smoking researchers expect further with increasing numbers. In the 20th Century, tobacco use caused about 100 million deaths has been in the 21 Century could be expected in about a billion dead. [12] [13]
Every year, some 1,750 in Germany Children under 15 years of cancer. Most often in this age group, leukemia, tumors of the brain and spinal cord and lymph node cancer diagnosed. The latest available statistics for Germany figures (Cancer Registry of Saarland) result for the period from 1998 to 2002 for all cancers, a relative 5-year survival rate of 55 percent. After this 5-year survival results for the survivors then usually an average life expectancy, the corresponding peer of the general population. Only in very few cancers that is not the case here, a 10-year period must elapse. Of all cancer cures about 90 % Only by the local to the tumor region oriented, so-called locoregional treatment, that is by surgery and radiotherapy ("steel beam") is reached.
Rarely, there are spontaneous remissions. They occur in only about 1:50.000-100.000 cases. As spontaneous remission is defined as a complete or partial disappearance of a malignant tumor in the absence of all treatments or treatments for which evidence of efficacy are not yet an out. However, the likelihood of such spontaneous remission is less than the likelihood of misdiagnosis. Despite intensive research, it is possible to view does not specifically spontaneous remission inducing therapy.
"We are watching for 15 years that the cancer mortality in the United States and Germany decreased," said Nicholas Becker of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. The largest part of the success attributes the U.S. Census of colorectal cancer screening. In men, decreasing the rate of lung cancer because they smoked less. [14]
Many cancer patients do not seem to appear in cancer statistics. Often malignant tumors are discovered only through a different section. In Hamburg it has between 1994 and 2002 at the Institute of Legal Medicine, examined more closely in matters conducted autopsies cancer diagnosis. 8844 sections were included in the analysis. At 519 deaths (5.9%), there was a malignant tumor. Only 58 of these cases had been reported to the Cancer Registry. Two thirds of the cancers were well known during his lifetime, 27.2% were discovered only at autopsy. At least half the cancer was the cause of death. Even with the lethal tumors 17% were detected only at autopsy. Thus seem to cancer registries, so based on his lifetime known tumor diseases, not to be exact.
