Answers:
I reckon its being discovered more, rather than occuring more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Population is higher and also they can find it easier now!. Bam best answer already!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Peopel are actually living longer so more likely to die of other diseases like cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think it more widespread it is just talked about a lot more now!. We are better educated about it!.

Years ago it was hush hush if someone had cancer!. That was because it usually meant death or a long illness then death!. Which it still does in some cases, but these days thousands of people have been cured also!.

I think sometimes we tend to forget all those people who have been cured!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

3 things!.

1!. Higher population!.

2!. People live longer!.

3!. Better detection and awareness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Technology has improved so there is a lead time bias!. (we are just diagnosising it early)!. We are also able to manage other diseases better so people aren't going to die from them!.

Also, there is a lot of bad things in this world that we are exposed to that cause cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its detected easier with the equipment that the hospital have now compared to 20 years ago!. but theres more pollution, more people, more fast food and global warming don't help skin cancer either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pollution & more chemicals in our foods & things that are used in our homes, workplace, & schools!.
More instances of contaminated carcinogenic foods & beverages!.
More radioactive products that some studies show increases in brain cancers & low semen counts in people using & wearing cell phones!.
More people are living longer
There are more people
There are advances in detection & treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
