hundred thousand. In 2008, the new cancer case loads in China exceeded 2.2 million and over 1.6
million deaths. In recent years, one in every four to five deaths is died of cancer, the leading cause
of death. It is predicted that there will be 5.5 million new cancer case loads in 2020 in China and
the deaths will reach to four million.
