Abstract

Cancer is a leading problem in the USA and throughout the world. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be almost 1.4 million new cases of cancer diagnosed in the USA in 2004 and almost 564,000 deaths.1 It is the second leading cause of death in the USA, accounting for approximately 23% of all deaths behind heart diseases which account for 29%.
