Cancer has now become a central issue in several countries in Asia. In some countries, even the cancer has become the number one cause of death. Therefore, cancer prevention should be a priority.
The remark was made Malcolm A Moore of the International Union Against Cancer Asian Regional Office for Cancer Control at the National Seminar on Cancer Management in Indonesia in Jakarta Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Monday (10/11).
National seminar about cancer was held to commemorate the 15th Anniversary Dharmais Cancer Hospital.
According to Committee Chairman Dr Abidin Widjanarko Seminar, World Health Organization (WHO) has predicted that cancer will become the number one killer in the year 2030.
