摘要

非洲大陆正面临一场癌症危机。与其他种族的妇女相比,非洲妇女患一种致命的乳腺癌的负担更高。非洲男性患前列腺癌的比例过高,而且治疗效果不佳。宫颈癌和肝癌都是可预防的疾病,在非洲的发病率分别比美国高300%和24%。2018年,这四种癌症加起来占非洲所有癌症死亡人数的三分之一以上。如果不及时干预,非洲每年死于癌症的人数预计将在20年内翻一番。[5]

Driven By Africa, For Africa - Improving Access to Cancer Medicines and Technologies through the African Access Initiative (AAI)
The African continent is facing a cancer crisis. African women experience a higher burden of a deadly form of breast cancer than women of other ethnicities. [1] African men are disproportionately impacted by prostate cancer and have poor treatment outcomes. [2] Rates of cervical and liver cancer—both preventable diseases—are 300% and 24% higher, respectively, in Africa than in the United States. [3] These four cancers combined were responsible for more than one-third of all cancer deaths in Africa in 2018. [4] Without prompt intervention, the number of Africans dying from cancer annually is expected to double in twenty years. [5]
