Cancer 'to become bigger burden'
diagnosis will put an increasing strain on health care systems across Europe, experts warn.
An Annals of Oncology study estimates there were 3.2 million new cases of cancer in Europe in 2006 - up from 2.9 million in 2004.
Lead researcher Professor Peter Boyle said the key factor was the increasing average age of the population.
He said urgent action, such as measures to improve diet, increase exercise and cut obesity and smoking, was needed.
Professor Boyle, who is director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France, also called for widespread screening for breast and colorectal cancer.
