Cancer’s Dangerous Mythology
World Cancer Day 2013 will focus on dispelling damaging myths about the disease, including that it is largely a developed-country problem and that fate determines who gets it. In fact, developing-country citizens lose the most years of life to cancer – often to forms of cancer that are easily prevented with a vaccine.
