World Program against Cancer in Low and Middle-incomes Countries: Research Report

Description

Worldwide, one in eight deaths is due to cancer. Projections based on the GLOBOCAN 2012 estimates predict a substantive increase new cancer cases per year by 2035 in developing countries if preventive measures are not widely applied. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of lives could be saved each year if countries made use of existing knowledge and the best cost-effective methods to prevent and treat cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study is to estimate a provisional budget against cancer in low and middle incomes countries, according the GNI-PPP, the cancer incidence and the number of population. Economically country classification are determining with the Gross national income (GNI), per capita, Purchasing power parity (PPP), according the administrations of the International Monetary Fund (IMF); the World Bank (WB) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Cancer incidence data presented are based on recent data available at IARC. However, population compares estimates from the US Bureau of the Census. A provisional budget is estimated using a Standard budget for 5 years (S0) in Senegal with a Standardized rapport (R0). A compilation of 91 articles representing Programs against cancer in 91 low and middle incomes countries are determining. Provisional budget against cancer is estimated to 51,477,422.00 (thousands of U.S $) for a population of 3,682,702.05 (thousands peoples).
