U.N. report: 13 million around world will die each year, twice those in 2008
LONDON - Cancer will kill more than 13.2 million people a year by 2030, almost double the number who died from the disease in 2008, the United Nations' cancer research agency said on Tuesday.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) also said that almost 21.4 million new cases of the disease will be diagnosed annually in 2030.
Launching a new database on global incidence of cancer in 2008, the latest year for which figures are available, the IARC said the burden of cancer was shifting from wealthier to poorer nations.

These stats are valid only if the UN Military Jets continue to spray us at the current levels. If they incrase the spray then more cancer. If they decrease the spray (why would they decrease the spray?) less cancer.
You also have to account for the GM food being produced. If they produce more genetically modified foods then there will be an increase in cancer. If they produce less GM food (why would they produce less GM food?) there will be less cancer.
Hey don't forget about the vaccines. If they produce more vaccines there will be more cancer, and ADHD, and Autism, and Bi-Polar Disease, etc. If they produce less vaccine (why . . . ) there will be less cancer.
Yum. There is a lot of money in the failed and poisonous treatment of cancers.
There is big big business in not finding a cure. Can you imagine the monetary consequences if the cure was uncovered?
I see some people here haven't been taking their meds. If chemtrails were real or GM foods caused cancer or vaccines were full of toxins, don't you suppose the cancer rates in our country would be going up. Instead, they are decreasing.
Look at the facts, folk, not what some crazy conspiracy theorist says.
Why are the most pleasurable things ALWAYS bad for YOU ??
Manufacturing and creating more cancer is simply a brilliant business decsion.
Cancer research and "treatment" (containment) are hugely profitable businesses.
Maybe if everyone had access to affordable health care this would not happen.
is that 2yr old that smokes 40 cigs aday included in this est.
"Can you imagine the monetary consequences if the cure was uncovered?"
Yes, I can. It would make whoever invented it hugely, hugely rich. There is a huge incentive to discover a cure for cancer. There is no conspiracy to squelch a cure.
The paranoia of some people amazes me some times...
Marc,
Are you saying that all conspiracy stories are fake or not true?
Do you believe that people in modern times have stopped "forming groups in secret to work out nefarious plans"?
Should we all dismiss stories of secret plans to do us harm?
Are all of these stories crazy?
Or, are the people who research them and learn about them crazy?
Finally, would there be more profit in the cure for a cancer than in the never-ending treatment of its symptoms? Which would last longer and require more visits to the clinic/hospital? Which would generate more income?
5:25, no, I'm saying that most conspiracy theories peddled on the Internet aren't true. I won't get into that now, though, but they usually have no proof behind them and you have to believe the myth that there is some sort of omnipotent cabal behind them. When there are real conspiracies they are exposed, like with Watergate or Iran-Contra or Lewinsky-gate. Government officials would love to keep things secret but it just doesn't happen. Conspiracy theories ignore this fact completely.
However, as far as the cancer thing, for your theory to be true it would involve every cancer researcher in the country working in concert to suppress the cancer cure. Since every researcher would have a huge incentive to break with the pack and come public with the cure (that researcher would be richer than Bill Gates), it certainly outweighs any incentive that person has to just play along with a system where the cancer cure is suppressed and he or she makes a good living but won't see even a small fraction of the money that a cancer cure would bring.
It's ridiculous to think that doctors or researchers aren't working on a cure for cancer and are instead just prolonging the misery of cancer patients to milk them dry. There is far more money for someone to make in finding a cure than treating it. It's just ignorant to think otherwise.
Marc,
Thanks for the interchange. I believe the corporations who employ these doctors and researchers own the patents on the work being done.
The corporations are many times, creating the illness in order to sell the medicine.
It is widely known among doctors that chemo-therapy is poison. The Hypocratic Oath prevents doctors from giving poison to patients. Yet they do it because their income is controlled by the corporations for whom they work.
The corporate control of our world is more ominous than most people realize. It is the heads of the corporations (Board Members) where the true evil lies. These for-profit entities do not care about regular people and the sooner we all realize that fact the better off we will be.
The best way to fight cancer cells in our bodies is with a whole plant diet. As it turns out our Western diet of Meat and protein seems to work against our body's natural ability to fight and kill cancer cells. Cancer cells have a protective protein barrier. This barrier is effective in protecting cancer while in the digestive track because there is too much protein in our diet. Chemo-therapy destroys the immune system.
Thank you
8:51 Forgive me, but your knowledge of medicine is appalling.
I totally agree that it is not in the best interest of the government, doctors, hospitals or insurance companies for their to be a cure for cancer and there never will be!
Remember Medicine Man????
Bet you think that was all done on a fictional basis, well it wasn't.
