5 Best Countries for Cancer Treatment

1. United States of America

There has been an increased focus on improving cancer care which has consequently increased the survival rate. According to the latest data, the overall 5-year survival rate for cancer in the U.S. is 64% with the breast cancer rate at 83%, the prostate cancer survival rate at 97%, and the testis cancer rate at 92%.

In order to reduce the overall cancer care burden, the government allocates certain funding to curb the factors that contribute to increased cancer cases. Hence, the excise tax on cigarettes is increased from time to time, and as of 2021, the average tax of states is $1.91 per pack.

A study published in 2022 identified that the U.S. spent nearly $200 billion on cancer care in 2020 and the mortality rate was 86.3 deaths per 100,000 patients. To further the fight against cancer and improve treatment, the fiscal year 2022 Omnibus Appropriations bill was signed in March 2022 and allocated funding of $6.9 billion for the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
