Study: Infections Caused 2.3 Million Cancer Cases Worldwide in 2024

A study published in The Lancet Oncology estimates that 2.3 million new cancer cases globally in 2024, roughly one in eight, were caused by infections. H. pylori accounted for the largest share at 760,000 cases, followed by HPV with 750,000, then HBV, EBV and HCV. More than three-quarters of these infection-linked cancers occurred in low- and middle-income countries, with Eastern Asia alone responsible for 990,000 cases, or 42% of the global total.
