Summary of Presentation
• Cancer rates, cancer types & cancer mortality vary widely
around the world
• Eight environmental or lifestyle risk factors that account
for ~50% of all cancer deaths
• Tobacco exposure is by far the most prominent
• Strategies to reduce these risk factors will have a
tremendous impact on reducing the burden of cancer
globally
• Socioeconomic factors affect cancer rates and mortality
and will become a bigger challenge in the future
Fast Facts About Cancer
• Cancer is a global epidemic and a leading
cause of death worldwide, accounting for
7.6 million deaths or around 13% of all
deaths in 2008.
• Worldwide, cancer now causes more deaths
than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria
combined.
• More than 70% of all cancer deaths occur in
low- and middle-income countries.

Infections cause about:
• 18% of cancers
globally
(>2 million cases/year)
• 26% of cancers in
LMICs
• 40% of cancers in
Africa

Cancer of the liver cause ~1% of all deaths worldwide (~100 deaths per

Trends in Cancer Mortality
Developed vs. Less Developed Countries
 Cancer mortality in more developed countries
 projected decrease by <30% by 2030
 Cancer mortality in less developed countries
 projected to increase by >70% by 2030
By 2030 - 85% of all cancer deaths may be occurring in low-middle income
countries
 The increase In cancer mortality in LMIC is largely due to:
 Delay in accurate diagnoses
 Lack of unawareness about cancer and potential value of therapy
 Lack of access and ability to deliver potentially curative therapy
 Abandonment of therapy

Breast Cancer and Socioeconomic Status
RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER IN
DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
• Higher maternal age at first birth
• Reduced parity
– Each live birth results in a decrease
of 7% in relative risk of breast
cancer (Lancet 2002;360:187-195)
• Reduced breast feeding
– For every 12 months of breast
feeding results in a decrease of 4%
in relative risk of breast cancer
(Lancet 2002;360:187-195)
• Obesity & “lifestyle” factors
Incidence of Breast Cancer & Outcomes Correlate with GDP

Institute of Medicine (IOM REPORT)
High-income countries should:
•Resist the temptation to focus on exporting the
latest, most expensive technologies that may
be appropriate for wealthy countries…
•Partner with countries to develop resource-
appropriate strategies focused on decreasing
the burden and mortality due to cancer.
IOM Report
Some low- or middle income countries
(including physicians & governments) have a
related temptation to WANT the latest, most
expensive technologies as opposed to more
resource-appropriate “alternatives” which may
be seen as 2nd rate solutions.
