Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. By 2040, over 30 million new cancers are predicted, with the greatest cancer burden in low-income countries. In 2015, the UN passed the Sustainable Development Goal 3.4 (SDG 3.4) to tackle the rising burden of non-communicable diseases, which calls for a reduction by a third in premature mortality from non-communicable diseases, including cancer, by 2030. However, there is a paucity of data on premature mortality rates by cancer type. In this study, we examine annual rates of change for cancer-specific premature mortality and classify whether countries are on track to reach SDG 3.4 targets.

183 年按癌症类型、性别、WHO 区域和世界银行收入水平划分的 2000-19 个国家的过早死亡率趋势：一项回顾性、横断面、基于人群的研究


癌症是全世界导致死亡的主要原因。到 2040 年，预计将有超过 3000 万新发癌症，其中低收入国家的癌症负担最大。2015 年，联合国通过了可持续发展目标 3.4 （SDG 3.4），以应对日益严重的非传染性疾病负担，该目标要求到 2030 年将包括癌症在内的非传染性疾病导致的过早死亡率减少三分之一。然而，缺乏按癌症类型划分的过早死亡率的数据。在这项研究中，我们研究了癌症特异性过早死亡率的年变化率，并对各国是否有望实现 SDG 3.4 目标进行分类。
