Cancer : la mortalité devrait continuer à diminuer en 2012
Si le nombre de morts du cancer devrait augmenter en 2012 du fait de
l'augmentation de la population, la proportion de victimes devrait
quant à elle globalement diminuer dans les pays de l’Union européenne.
Ces chiffres encourageants s’expliquent par une meilleure prévention,
une détection plus précoce et des thérapies plus efficaces. Malgré
tout, les estimations prévoient 1,3 million de décès par cancer pour
l’année en cours.
