Many of you might already know that cancer ranks third among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the Philippines. Infectious and cardiovascular diseases are the top two. Filipinos has constantly disregarded Cancer prevention, and a researcher has lamented that if this continues, "it is estimated that for every 1,800 Filipinos, one will develop cancer annually."
Seventy-five percent (75%) of all cancers in our country occur after age 50 years. Most Filipino cancer patients wait until the last hour before consulting and at this point, the cancer is most often at an advanced stage.
