The World Cancer Report，released by the，International Agency for Research on Cancer, shows that cancer has now emerged as a major public health threat in developing countries as well as rich ones．
Overall．cancer was responsible for 12％of all deaths in 2000. But in many countries more than a quarter Of all deaths are caused by cancer．
