Which region has the most cancer cases

[DigitalExplorer]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for assistance with a question I have. Does anyone know which region has the most cancer cases? I'm interested in finding out the answer to this question and any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also interested in understanding why certain regions would have more cases of cancer than others. Are there any factors that can influence the prevalence of cancer in a region? I'm hoping to get some insight from other users who have knowledge on the subject.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can provide.
