Cancer is one of the biggest enemies of Indonesian society. This disease affects not only men, but also women and people of all ages.

According to the Global Burden of Cancer Study (Globocan) report from the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 396,914 cases of cancer in Indonesia in 2020.

By type of disease, breast cancer was the most prevalent in Indonesia, with 65,858 cases. This number is equivalent to 16.6% of the total cancer cases in the country.

Next, cervical cancer ranked second with 36,633 cases or 9.2% of the total national cancer cases.

Then, lung cancer ranked third with 34,189 cases (8.8%). This was followed by colorectal cancer with 34,189 cases (8.6%) and liver cancer with 21,392 cases (5.4%).

Meanwhile, the remaining 204,059 cases (51.4% of the total national cancer cases) were other types of cancer.

Based on gender, cancer most frequently affected men, with 137,717,861 cases. Meanwhile, there were 135,805,760 cases among women. *(Note: The numbers for male and female cases seem unusually high and likely represent a data entry error. They should be significantly lower, likely in the thousands, not hundreds of millions.)*

The high number of cancer cases in Indonesia is alarming because it also has a high mortality rate. In 2020, the number of deaths due to cancer in Indonesia reached 234,511 cases.

Lung cancer had the highest number of cancer deaths, at 30,843 (13.2%). This was followed by breast cancer and cervical cancer, with 22,430 cases (9.6%) and 21,003 cases (9%), respectively.
