Cancer killed  almost 8 million people in 2007 - about one in eight of all deaths. If we do nothing, deaths from cancer worldwide will soar to an estimated 12 million deaths in 2030.

If we act today, we can make a real difference for tomorrow.

The new World Cancer Declaration to be presented to the World Cancer Congress in 2008 sets forth ambitious targets to make true cancer control a global reality by 2020 and provides a framework for common action. United, we can defeat cancer.
