| Description | Of a total of 1.043 million worldwide new cases of cervical, uterine and ovarian cancer in 2008 based in Globocan 2008 (IARC), 31 % were estimated in more developed and 69 % in less developed countries; of 489 thousand deaths from cancer, 27 % were in more developed and 73 % in less developed countries. By 2030 an estimated worldwide increase is by 550 thousand, i.e. 53 % for new cases and 303 thousand, i.e. 62 % for deaths. The expected increasing will be by 65 % up to 1.19 million new cases and 80 % up to 639 thousand deaths in less developed countries, and by 19 % (up to 382 thousand new cases) and 29 % (up to 168 thousand deaths) in more developed countries. Of the estimated five-year prevalence of 3.203 million cases worldwide there were 67 % in less, and 33 % in more developed countries which included Europe with 677 thousand cases in 2008. On comparison of crude incidence rates of 40 European countries, Czech females ranked alarming first in uterine, ninth in ovarian and eleventh in cervical cancer. The WHO appeal “Together It Is Possible” calls for a joint effort to reduce the future incidence and disparities in cancer care. |
