  • “We have a diagnosis—it's cancer.” It is estimated that in 2006 in the United States alone, over 11 million persons were living with cancer, and that in 2010, over 1.5 million new cases were treated. Globally, one out of every eight deaths worldwide is caused by cancer, with low- and middle-income countries more heavily affected. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Networks; Cancer Networks]
