Cancer accounts for nearly 8 million deaths worldwide each year,
killing more people than TB, AIDS and malaria combined. The
situation is particularly dire in the developing world. In 1970,
only 15 percent of new cancer cases occurred in the developing
world. Currently, over half of new cancer cases and almost two-
thirds of cancer deaths now occur in low-income and middle-
income countries, and the burden is expected to grow. By 2030,
it is estimated that 70 percent of the global cancer burden will
be borne by the developing world. The LIVESTRONG documentary,
Delivering Hope, illuminates through patient stories the
possibility and promise of treating cancer in settings with
limited resources. The Lance Armstrong Foundation is working to
ensure that people around the world have access to the cancer
care and support they need. Learn more at
