Chinanews, Harbin, September 24 – A report by Harbin Daily shows that in 2006 3 million Chinese died of cancer. It is estimated that cancer will kill more than 4 million Chinese by 2020.

The 10th National Conference of Clinical Oncology and the 2007 Annual Meeting of CSCO was kicked off last week, and a press briefing was held on September 20. According to the information revealed at the briefing, the incidence of lung cancer is the highest among all the malignant¹ tumors of male patients, while breast cancer is the top among females. Lung cancer is also the most fatal killer² in China.

Compared with 20 years ago, the incidence of lung cancer has increased by more than 100%. Apparently³, air pollution should be blamed. Most patients are either very young or very old, including babies of several months old.

Colon⁴ and recta cancers have also become common, with the popularity of unhealthy diet.
