Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and 10 million deaths in 2020 were attributed to cancer. Low-and-middle-income countries shoulder most of the cancer burden. In 2020, out of nearly 10 million cancer-related deaths worldwide, 70% were in low-and-middle-income countries. Today, our understanding of cancer is greater than at any other point in history, however, cancer continues to be a leading cause of death due to a lack of application of known intervention or issues with accessing transformative medicines.

 

A comprehensive response that promotes prevention, early detection and treatment is critical to saving lives. Advancements in oncology have led to significant improvements in cancer treatment and patient outcomes.
