Dear Friends,
I extracted this from Australia's health 2010 which is the 12th biennial health report of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. It is the nation's premier source of statistics and informed commentary on matters such as determinants of health and keys to prevention, disease and injury. The extract I have chosen to share with you today in about cancer cases. Enjoy reading and take whatever action is needed to keep yourselves healthy and disease free.
Cancer cases projection: Australia institute
Cancer is Australia’s leading broad cause of disease burden (19% of the
total), followed by cardiovascular disease (16%) and mental disorders (13%).
Cancer is a diverse group of diseases in which some of the body’s cells become defective and multiply out of control. They can invade and damage the tissue around them, and can also spread (metastasise) to other parts of the body to cause further damage.
Overall, cancer is projected to remain the leading cause of the burden of disease and injury in Australia in 2010. The overall cancer incidence rate was higher among males than females. The imbalance was greatest for cancer of the larynx, where the rate for males was 12 times as high as the female rate. This excess rate is probably due to higher male rates of smoking and alcohol consumption in the previous two to three decades.
