Cancer Screening in the Developing World - Case Studies and Strategies from the FieldPaperback
Worldwide, cancer is responsible for one in eight deaths--more than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. While the majority of people living in developed countries receive timely treatment, those living in developing countries are not as fortunate and their survival rates are much lower--not only due to delays in diagnosis, but also to a lack of personnel, a paucity of treatment facilities, and the unavailability of many medications. This global burden starkly illustrates the inequality between the developed and the developing world.
Focusing on cervical, breast, and oral cancers, Routine screening--a mainstay in the developed world--could greatly increase the likelihood of identifying individuals with early stage cancers and thus reduce the number of people who present with advanced disease.This book represents a critical addition to the literature of global health studies.
