Figure 2. Estimate of cancer incidence in developing and developed (industrialized) countries. Note that in 1990 the incidence was practically the same in the two groups. In a time frame of 20 years, there will be approximately 260 million new cancer cases and nearly 150 million will be in developing countries [3].
