According to the doctor, in Vietnam, the figures stand at around 150,000 and 70,000 respectively.

Although the national target programme on cancer prevention hasexisted for many years, Vietnam’s health sector still faces a lot ofchallenges in fighting the deadly disease, Thang noted.

He pointed to overcrowding in cancer departments of hospitals and health centres as a pressing issue.
