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
