Cancer rates could further increase by 50% to 15 million

new cases in the year 2020, according to the World

Cancer Report, the most comprehensive global

examination of the disease to date. The report also reveals

that cancer has emerged as a major public health problem

in developing countries, matching its effect in

industrialized nations. Medical experts attribute the

decline in breast cancer deaths to earlier detection.

The developing world is expected to account for more

than half of all cancer cases in the world by 2020 say

medical experts. Cancer may strike as many as 7 million

people a year in Asia by 2020, straining health systems in

countries that can least afford it. The WHO is also

warning that Asia's annual death toll from cancer,

currently at about 4 million, could reach 6.4 million by

2030 if current trends continue.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer, an

organization established by the World Health

Organization, estimates that an approximately 80.000

women in India are affected by Breast Cancer each year.

Other estimates place the number of cases in India to about 1

00,000 women each year. There will be approximately 2,

50,000 new cases of breast cancer in India by 2015. The

Indian Council of Medical Research is of the view that

“breast cancer has overtaken cervical cancer to become the

leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women

living in metropolitan cities. It places the incidence of the

disease at 20-33 per 1, 00,000 in urban India.

Dr. Umberto Veronesi, the Scientific Director of the

European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, and also

known as the Father of the modern breast cancer surgery,

believes that “Breast Cancer will become an epidemic in

India in another 10 years if the country does not put in place

a vigorous mechanism for early detection and an

awareness building exercise”. www.rokocancer.org
