There are very few studies conducted worldwide to see the effects of functional foods on health or cancer or related states. This review, presents the complex patterns of cancer incidence and death around the world and evidence on effective and cost-effective ways to control cancers. The evaluation of cancer will indicate where cancer treatment is ineffective and wasteful, and offer alternative cancer care packages that are cost-effective and suited to low-resource settings.
