Cancer Burden in Bangladesh
An Estimated Cancer Load is approximately 1.2 million, 250,000 New Cancer Cases are diagnosed each year approximately and 150,000 deaths due to cancer occur each year.

Present Scope of Cancer treatment in Bangladesh
Facilities and resources available for detection and treatment of cancer are indeed very limited in Bangladesh. Resources available at present can cater the need of around 30,000 - 35,000 cancer patients in a year. The absence of multi-disciplinary approach can be identified as a major handicap in the effective treatment of cancer.



Quick Cancer Facts

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death world wide.

As the population has grown, so the number of adult cancer deaths have increased steadily, and this increase in burden is projected to continue at least for next two decades. The ageing of the population – reflected in longer life expectancy – will also have an increasing by telling effect by increase of cancer burdens.

From a total of 58 million deaths worldwide in 2005, cancer accounted for 7.6 million (or 13%) of all deaths. But unfortunately, more than 70% of all cancer deaths in 2005 occurred in low and middle-income countries.

Deaths from cancer in the world are projected to continue rising, with an estimated 9 million people dying from cancer in 2015 and 11.4 million dying in 2030.
