Latin America 'threatened by rising cancer cases'


Latin America ‘threatened by rising cancer cases’

In Latin America it is feared that the amount of cancer cases will rise. In comparison with America and Europe, the cancer cases in Latin America are far less but the death rate is higher. Researchers states that possible causes of the rising cancer deaths in Latin America may be the poor treatment patients gets and late diagnosis. Latin America’s people want to adapt their living as people of growing countries. They want to  intake more unhealthy foods and smoke. Latin America countries have inadequate equipment and treatments to successfully help their cancer patients. Therefore the rising deaths.

People in general are living unhealthy lives without  being fully aware of what the consequences may be for their near future. Cancer is a worldwide problem and the only way to fight this disease is starting to lead more healthy lives by doing more exercise and eating more healthy foods. These simple steps not only will fight cancer but it will also help fight other diseases and viruses. In Latin America countries it is known that people undergo a lot of plastic surgeries as well and this could develop cancer also.

  1. It's not just the lack of good medicines, but also the high amount of plastic surgery. They inflict it on themselves too. It's a shame but I bet there are more poor countries who don't have good treatments for this disease. What can we do and why should this be our problem?
