Panaji: Geneva-based organisation Union International for Cancer Control (UICC) on Thursday said that by 2025, two-third of the cancer cases in the world will come from the developing countries.
UICC president Anil D’Cruz said this while addressing a gathering organised on the occasion of World Cancer Day.
“The distressing part of cancer is that at present two-third of it comes from the high developed western countries and one-third from the developing countries,” he said.
“But the pendulum is going to swing…By 2025, two-third of the cases will be from the developing country like ours. We are going to face the brunt of this cancer epidemic,” he said during the event organised by Gokarna Oncology Association.
