Cancer was the cause of death an estimated 9.7 million people in 2022, accounting for nearly one in six deaths; 70% of those deaths occur in resource-constrained countries.
Cancer registries, which track cancer data, are a foundation for cancer control but are chronically under- developed in countries currently indexed at low- or middle-income levels.
The Cancer Registries Program, included under the Bloomberg Data for Health initiative, works with ministries of health and their partners to establish, strengthen and expand population-based cancer registries and use the data for policymaking.
