3．Health experts are calling for action to expand cancer care and control in the developing world．A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world．But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well．Experts from Harvard University and other organizations ask the international community to fight cancer positively，saying it should be fought in the way AIDS has been fought in Africa．
Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide．Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries．
They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS，tuberculosis （肺结核） and malaria （疟疾） combined．But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources（资源） in those countries．
Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the authors of the paper．She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast（乳腺） cancer．She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer．
Felicia Knaul says，"And we are seeing how this is attacking young women．It's the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four．All over the developing world，it's the number one cancer-related death among young women．I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it．"
Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries．They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer．They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness．The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly．For example，patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs．
