Global patterns and trends in cancer-related premature death and their impact on life expectancy across 185 countries: a population-based analysis.

ABSTRACT:

The level of premature deaths (deaths among those aged 30-69 years) caused by cancer is an important indicator of evaluating the level of cancer prevention and control.
