Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Cancer is a disease of great impact on the health of contemporary societies. Statistics describe it as the leading cause of mortality globally as reported by the World Health Organization. Therefore, it is vitally important to know about the epidemiology of this disease, its distribution, its incidence and the causes of higher mortality. The information search was carried out in the databases: Scielo, Dialnet, Pubmed and Scopus from January 2020 to January 2023. The search was limited to articles in English and Spanish with the objective of describing cancer as a problem of health today and the importance of detection methods for its prevention. Cancer as the first cause of mortality represents a challenge for the scientific community, therefore, it is important to know and implement preventive measures and diagnostic means to reduce its prevalence.
