Cancer Cases Expected to Increase

Posted: Updated:

British researchers predict cancer cases will increase 75 percent by the year 2030.

Cancer is already the leading cause of death in many high income countries.

Now scientists believe poorer areas will see a dramatic increase in cancer as more people adopt a westernized lifestyle.

Experts say higher levels of obesity and poor diet will help fuel the rise in cancer.
