Cancer Cases to Rise 50 Percent
One the eve of World Cancer day, a report released today from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) shows some disappointing figures for the global fight against cancer. By 2030, cancers are expected to jump from 14 million in 2012 to 21.6 million a year, and overall deaths are expected to increase from 8.2 million to 13 million annually. Lung cancer is the biggest killer, and the report criticizes tobacco companies' push into poorer countries. It said a smoking “epidemic†is "potentially impeding human development by consuming scarce resources, increasing pressures on already weak health-care systems, and inhibiting national productivity."
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
