This study summarises the available data according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Cancer Country Profiles for the status of breast cancer and other common types of cancer globally, in addition to the UK and Saudi Arabia. The data presented consists of the total population in each case, as well as the total number of cancer cases and the total number of deaths due to cancer. Moreover, we report the incidence and mortality of the most common types of cancer, along with the population attributable fractions (PAFs), explaining the contribution of selected risk factors that are essential to understand the aetiology and occurrence of cancer worldwide.
