Rapid urbanization, increasing life expectancy, and changes in lifestyle, such as tobacco use and dietary changes, have led to a higher incidence of cancer. Additionally, infectious agents like HPV and Hepatitis B and C, which are more prevalent in these regions, contribute significantly to cancer rates.
