Cancer is a global problem accounting for almost 13% of all deaths worldwide. This equates to over 7 million people a year, more than is caused by HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria combined. Now is the time to strengthen the health systems of developing countries to deal with cancer, to avoid a future crisis similar to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In this article we discuss the current state of cancer in the developing world, how we need to advocate for a change in cancer control policy with the governments of developing nations/transnational governmental bodies (e.g., the UN and WHO etc) and how we think cancer care could be improved in developing countries. We feel the only way to overcome the growing burden of cancer in the developing world is working in partnership with, nongovernmental organizations, international nongovernmental organizations, transnational governmental bodies and governmental bodies.
癌症是一个全球性问题，占全球死亡人数的近 13%。这相当于每年有超过 700 万人死亡，超过了艾滋病、结核病和疟疾的总和。现在是加强发展中国家卫生系统以应对癌症的时候了，以避免出现类似艾滋病大流行的未来危机。在本文中，我们讨论了发展中国家癌症的现状，我们如何需要倡导与发展中国家/跨国政府机构（如联合国和世界卫生组织等）的政府一起改变癌症控制政策，以及我们如何认为癌症护理可以在发展中国家得到改善。我们认为，克服发展中国家癌症负担不断增加的唯一途径是与非政府组织、国际非政府组织、跨国政府机构和政府机构合作。
