• Cancer is the second most common killer today, 13% of death worldwide are currently caused by it.

• The estimated number of cases of cancer is expected to rise each year from 11 million in 2002 to 27 million by 2030 .
• The majority of new cases are expected to occur in less developed countries.

• Human resources (oncologists, nurses) are insufficient in the majority of countries;
• Medicine availability and affordability for patients in the majority of countries (out-of-pocket expense);
• Radiotherapy machines, radio-oncologists and radio-technicians are not sufficient to cover the needs in many countries;
• Multidisciplinary management of cases is not instituted in all referral centres.
2. Cancer management in the RegionRegional challenges in cancer prevention
3. Palliative careRegional challenges in cancer prevention
• Misconceptionsabout pain relief use;
• Training Gaps;• Lack of awareness;• Inadequate policies
restricting access to pain relief medications;
• Accessibility & affordability of medication for pain relief
• 11 countries have hospital-based cancer registry and published reports, but the quality of the data and reports from these registries is very heterogeneous.
• Cancer registry is not exist in 8 Member States have no cancer registry.
• Data about stage at presentation, mortality and survival are lacking in almost all Member States.
