You can get cancer the same types of cancer anywhere in the world. Certain types of cancer are more prevalent in some countries than in others. Diet, the scientists believe, may influence the amount of cases in some countries. Family history may have an effect in the type of cancer (breast cancer tends to run in families) or environment (black lungis higher in China due to their unsafe coal mining practices). Do you need more information?

Cancer does not respect country borders!
Anyone, anywhere can get any form of cancer.
Different living conditions including diet only affects the risk of particular cancers.

same as here. Will vary based on pollution levels sun exposure genectics Would guesd east is worst cause of pollution.
only big difference i could think of is that at least some countries there still use leaded gas which might spike some cancers that are not present here much anymore

Everyone is born with cancer. In most people, it just lies dormant and they never have a problem with it. In others, something triggers it and then it takes over your entire body.
The triggers can be; environmental, foods we consume or stress on the body.
