The number of diagnosed cancer cases will more than double between 2000 and 2030, primarily in poor countries, A United Nations research agency has said.

Dr Peter Boyle, director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer said the reasons for the increase included population growth, increased life expectancies and the transfer from the developed world to the developing world of cancer risk factors such as smoking.
These added to the existing risks in poor countries such as communicable diseases and lack of health care, he said.
In 2000 the agency estimated 11 million new cases of diagnosed cancer worldwide, seven million deaths from cancer and 25 million people living with cancer. The agency expects that by the year 2030, there will be 27 million cases of cancer, 17 million deaths from cancer and 75 million people living with cancer.
"We've been concentrating on cancer in high-resource countries and until essentially Aids came along, we haven't looked too closely at what's going on in low-resource countries," Dr Boyle said. But he says new research shows that as time has progressed, there has been an increasing shift of cancer to poor countries.
"What's going to happen between now and 2030 is that the population is going to increase from about 6.5 billion to eight billion in 2030," Dr Boyle said. "So even if the risks remain constant at each five-year age group, because we've got more people around, we're going to have more cases of cancer."
"A second factor leading to a rise in cancer cases is the increase in life expectancy in the majority of countries, with the exception of some Aids-ravaged countries in Africa. Both China and India have continual growth in the number of people living longer," Dr Boyle said.
The agency has just finished an estimate of cancer cases and deaths in all UN World Health Organisation regions which found that breast cancer was the commonest or second commonest form of cancer in every region of the world.
The study also found that the commonest type of cancer for men in Africa was Kaposi's sarcoma, which is directly linked to the Aids/HIV epidemic there. The agency also found that there were commonly more people in the world who died of cancer than those who died of tuberculosis, Aids and malaria combined.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is based in Lyon, France, was established in 1965 by a resolution of the World Health Assembly to identify the causes of cancer so that preventive measures could be found. More than 300 reports are given every year regarding cancer studies.

The number of diagnosed cancer cases will more than double between 2000 and 2030, primarily in poor countries, A United Nations research agency has said.
确诊癌症病例的数量将在2000年和2030年间翻倍，并且将主要存在于穷国中。美国一家研究机构声称。
Dr Peter Boyle, director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer said the reasons for the increase included population growth, increased life expectancies and the transfer from the developed world to the developing world of cancer risk factors such as smoking.
国际肿瘤研究机构主管Peter Boyle博士说，增长的原因包括人口增长、平均寿命的延长及高致癌因素如吸烟从发达地区向发展中地区转移。
These added to the existing risks in poor countries such as communicable diseases and lack of health care, he said.
这些增加了穷国中现存的传染病流行及医疗保健缺乏的风险, 他说。
In 2000 the agency estimated 11 million new cases of diagnosed cancer worldwide, seven million deaths from cancer and 25 million people living with cancer. The agency expects that by the year 2030, there will be 27 million cases of cancer, 17 million deaths from cancer and 75 million people living with cancer.
该机构估计2000年全世界有1100万新增确诊癌症病例，700万人死于癌症同时有2500万人携癌症生存；同时预计，至2030 年, 将有2700万新增确诊癌症病例, 1700万死于癌症并有7500万人携癌生存。
