      fact alert: if you have money to screen for cancer you will find cancer. if you do not screen for cancer, you will not find cancer

      I’m guessing Americans being overweight and dying of heart attacks more often is why we’re lower than some of Europe

      Australia is high because skin cancer is 11x higher than the global average.

      There are many factors but medical testing is more advanced in areas listed that have lower cancer rates. Food supply, cultural and genetics.

      Jesus even *cancer* is lurking in the outback? Is there anything that doesn’t want to destroy humans in AUS?

    5. Meaningless without the type of Cancer. For example I’m guessing Australia is skin cancer, but what’s Germany?

      What is the metric here. For example: Australia, is 120+ people out of what, 1000? Over what time frame, per year?

    7. what the hell happened to NZ? it looks like a stick

      This data means nothing. What do the numbers mean? 40-60 what? 100-120 what? It’s not a total. Clearly not a percentage. Average occurrence per 100,000? There’s no key. No explanation.

      This map means absolutely nothing.

    9. So the country with intense sun, blistering heat and a brief history of majority of fair skinned people has high rates of cancer? Seems evolutionary.

    11. People with glasses complain more about smudges on their glasses than people with perfect eyesight.

      Interesting that level of development correlates with higher cancer rates. Do we think that this is due to to higher rates of diagnosis in higher quality health systems or the effect of industrialized agriculture?

    13. This also seems like a map of where they’re diagnosing it more often since there’s bigger better hospitals and more doctors. I think this would correlate well with a global health disparity map.

      Yes, rich and affluent countries do more testing. People have money to go testing.

      What do the numbers reflect? Presumably a rate but is it per million people?

    16. This is a kind of bias. 100 years ago in Europe there was less cancer than in Africa for the fact that weak people with low immunity system was not arriving at 50. Childhood death rate was no joke as it is no joke in Africa right now.
      Natural selection kills weak children. The survivors are less likely to get cancer and other illnesses.
      It’s not our environment, it’s the fact that modern medicine allows everyone to survive, even the ones that shouldn’t.

      Yeah. I read a study that says increasing rate of cancer among young adults are NOT because of better and earlier testing. The cause is still mysterious but probably due to increasing obesity (inflammatory condition), pollution, altered gut microbiome, etc. Modern humans are f’d

    18. It’s interesting because for a statistic like this, you must have a diagnosis.

    19. Sensitive_Bread_1905 on

      So, the more widespread and easily accessible a modern healthcare system is, the higher the cancer rate. We should stop healthcare systems!

    20. Remote_Development62 on

      Yeah this not being weighed against how many screenings happen with people under 50 makes it kind of a worthless map.

    21. Visual-Classroom1003 on

      Is there a related map showing sophistication of cancer diagnostics?

      From France, let me celebrate our agricultural industry working hand to hand with our chemical industry and bringing prosperity to our medical industry.

      What a beautiful world capitalism gives us !
