Publisher Description
INTRODUCTION Cancer is the third cause of mortality in developing countries (1). In 2007, more than 12.3 million people were affected by different kinds of cancers; more than 7.6 million died of the disease (around 13% worldwide), in which more than 70% of all deaths due to cancer occurred in developing countries; and 84 million people will die in the next 10 years, if action is not taken (1). The estimated number of new cases may rise from 12.3 million in 2007 to 16 million in 2020, and approximately 60% of all these new cases may occur in low- and middle-income countries (2).
