Produktbeschreibung

Cancer is one of the most relevant challenges of our time for mankind, as it is one of the diseases with the highest incidence in the world population. It is characterized by the rapid multiplication of cells, due to the alteration of cell division and death mechanisms, which generates the development of tumors or abnormal masses in any part of the organism that can spread to other organs, a process known as metastasis1,2 . 1,2 Worldwide, cancer mortality is expected to increase by 45% between 2007 and 2030 (from 7.9 million to 11.5 million deaths), due in part to population growth and the aging of the population. The estimates take into account expected slight reductions in mortality from some types of cancer in resource-rich countries. It is estimated that over the same period the number of new cancer cases will increase from 11.3 million in 2007 to 15.5 million in 2030. It is one of the leading causes of mortality in the Americas, being the second leading cause of death. In 2012, it caused 1.3 million deaths, 47% of which occurred in Latin America and the Caribbean.
