Some 2.8 million Chinese may have died of cancer in 2015 or over 7,500 deaths daily, according to a new study.
"With increasing incidence and mortality, cancer is the leading cause in China and is a major public health problem," the study in the world's most populous nation says.
It also estimated that nearly 4.3 million were diagnosed in 2015, with 12,000 new cases daily.
The figures marked a sharp rise in new diagnoses. Figures released in 2013 estimated that there were 3.12 million new diagnoses and over two million deaths in 2012.
