Cancer

Cancer

A new therapeutic option

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and will account for 10 million deaths in 2020. In Brazil, there were about 260 thousand deaths from cancer in 2020. Globally, nearly 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. Approximately 70% of cancer deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. In Brazil, the estimate for each year of the 2021-2022 biennium indicates that there will be 625,000 new cases of cancer ((Instituto Nacional do Câncer - INCA). Unlike heart disease, cancer survival rates have not improved significantly over the past 50 years. Thus, cancer continues to pose a challenge to medical science.
