4 Trends in incidence of cancer in selected countries in 2012 Age-standardized rate (W) per 100,000 men Age-standardized rate (W) per 100,000 women

5 Trends in mortality from cancer in selected countries in 2012 Age-standardized rate (W) per 100,000 men Age-standardized rate (W) per 100,000 women

6 Risk of developing and dying from cancers in males and women The lifetime risk of developing or dying from cancer refers to the chance a person has, over the course of his or her lifetime of being diagnosed with or dying from cancer The graphs below indicate the comparison between males and females lifetime risks of developing and dying from certain cancers The information is from the US National Cancer Institute s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Database, and is based on incidence and mortality data for the United States from 2010 through 2012.

7 Life time risk of developing cancer (%) Risk of developing cancers in males and women 45 Risk of developing cancers in males and females Male Female

8 Life time risk of dying from cancer (%) Risk of dying from cancers in males and women 25 Risk of dying from cancer in males and females Male Female

9 Cancer: A disease burden in Sri Lank? According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Sri Lanka has the highest NCD burden in Southeast Asia. In the past decade, the prevalence of cancer has increased in Sri Lanka. According to the latest published National Cancer Incidence data in 2010, one in every 10 Sri Lankans carries a life time risk of developing cancer. A total of 16,963 new cancer patients were registered for treatment during the year 2010, comprising males 7,993 and females 8,970. In Sri Lanka, the number of cancer patients has steadily risen in the past few years to an extent where it has become the second highest cause of hospital deaths in the country.

10 Cancer: A disease burden in Sri Lank? The crude incidence rate (CR) for all cancers was 82.1 per 100,000 population. The most common cancer among females is breast cancer with a CR of The male cancer with the highest incidence is cancer of the lip, oral cavity and pharynx CR=18.4. The cancer with the highest life time risk of developing among females is breast cancer 1 in 40 females. The highest life time risk observed for males 1 in 40 males for lip, oral cavity and pharyngeal cancers. According to the published data of the Registrar General s Department, 6438 male deaths and 5398 female deaths have occurred due to neoplasms. Out of those 6371 male and 5349 female deaths were due to cancer. A gradual increase in the proportionate mortality ratio for neoplasms could be observed from 2001 to 2010 (7.1 in 2001 to 9.1 in 2010). Source: Cancer incidence data (2010)
