Pure cold numbers need no additional comments (from here):
The first ever estimate of the economic burden of cancer in Europe shows that it
exceeds 124 billion euros every year, with Germany incurring the biggest costs
for its patients.
The lowest per-capita healthcare cost for cancer was 32 euros per year in Lithuania, while the highest was in Germany, with 165 euros spent on every person in the population. The UK spent 88 euros.
Breast cancer had the highest cost, at 6 billion euros each year, although the highest total economic burden was attributable to lung cancer, 19 billion euros, of which 10 billion euros was due to premature mortality.
