abstract: 'Cancer is a global problem accounting for almost 13\% of all deaths
|
|
|
|
worldwide. This equates to over 7 million people a year, more than is
|
|
|
|
caused by HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria combined. Now is the time to
|
|
|
|
strengthen the health systems of developing countries to deal with
|
|
|
|
cancer, to avoid a future crisis similar to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In
|
|
|
|
this article we discuss the current state of cancer in the developing
|
|
|
|
world, how we need to advocate for a change in cancer control policy
|
|
|
|
with the governments of developing nations/transnational governmental
|
|
|
|
bodies (e. g., the UN and WHO etc) and how we think cancer care could be
|
|
|
|
improved in developing countries. We feel the only way to overcome the
|
|
|
|
growing burden of cancer in the developing world is working in
|
|
|
|
partnership with, nongovernmental organizations, international
|
|
|
|
nongovernmental organizations, transnational governmental bodies and
|
|
|
|
governmental bodies.'
