According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Department of Statistics, last year in Taiwan, the cancer death clock was 14 seconds faster than in 2022, with lung cancer maintaining the top spot for 20 consecutive years. Lung cancer saw over 10,348 deaths, becoming the only malignant tumor with over ten thousand deaths, followed by liver cancer with 7,724 deaths and colorectal cancer with 6,791 deaths. Lung cancer and liver cancer remain serious threats to public health, with liver cancer's death clock showing a slower trend. Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis have dropped out of the top ten causes of death due to significant progress in liver cancer screening. Pancreatic cancer, known as the 'king of cancer,' has ranked in the top ten for two consecutive years, with 2,879 deaths in 2022, emphasizing the importance of early detection and lifestyle changes to combat cancer.
