The winner of the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction 2011, Siddhartha Mukherjee wrote in his book 'The Emperor of all Maladies : A Biography of Cancer' the following: In 2010, about six hundred thousand Americans, and more than 7 million humans around the world, will die of cancer. In United States, one in three women and one in two men will develop cancer during their lifetime. A quarter of all American deaths, and about 15 percent of all deaths worldwide, will be attributed to cancer. In some nations, cancer will surpass heart disease to become the most common cause of death.
