The American Cancer Society today predicted that worldwide in 2007, more than 12 million people will be diagnosed with cancer and 7.6 million will die of cancer.

That's about 20,000 global cancer deaths per day, according to the American Cancer Society's first "Global Cancer Facts & Figures" report.

The report shows a gap in cancer survival among economically developed nations and economically developing countries.

Part of that gap is due to infection and lack of access to medical care in the developing world. Lifestyle factors also play a role. - See 2007 World Cancer Deaths Top 7 Million for the complete article.
