Question: If 2 in 3 people are diagnosed with cancer is this few or a lot?
Answers:
Based on percentage, 66% of the people diagnosed with cancer is extremely high. It is a lot.
Based on percentages, that is 66% (or even more) of the world's population: extremely high, really. I highly DOUBT those are the real figures lmfao. Just checked them, it is actually 1 in 3 people in Britain will be eventually diagnosed with cancer, so the real figure is likely to be around 42% (cba working it out, lool.
What is shocking is that you cannot figure out for yourself if this is a lot or not.
The actual figures are a lifetime risk for females of 1 in 3, for males it is 1 in 2 and yes those are real figures.
I am a cancer registrar.
Use your common sense. That's is a fricking lot. For every three people you see, two of them are supposed to have cancer. And I don't think your number is correct... I don't think so at all...
That's a lot! So for every 30 people, 20 will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life. That's shockingly high :/
that would suggest 66% of people would have cancer
