Role of Medical Education in Cancer Control
Journal Title: GCSMC Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Cancer is a major burden for health care sector all over the world. Every year, about 10.1 million new cancer cases are reported worldwide; out of which more than half are from developing world. It is estimated that by 2020, the burden of the cancer in the world will be around 20 million, and 70% of the cases will be from developing world that have only 5% of the resources for the health. This increase in the burden may partly be due to increase in the population size, increase in the life expectancy and control over the non-communicable diseases.
