Diagnosis of cancer is often viewed by the general population as a life changing event that will inevitably lead to an early death after treatment with unpleasant and noxious side effects. Whilst there have been improvements in treatment and prolonged survival in many types of cancers in recent years, cancer has remained common. It has been estimated that one in three people develop some form of cancer at some point during their life and one in four will die as a result of it (Seddon and Workman, 2003). The overall number of patients will inevitably rise as the overall world population not only increases in number but becomes more aged. This is borne out by the fact that in the year 2000 ~10 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed worldwide, and this number is expected to rise to 15 million by the year 2020 (Stewart and Kleihuer, 2003). Table 2.1 gives the estimated figures for the number of patients who will develop the major cancers and Table 2.2 the estimated number of patients who will die of various cancers in the United States during 2006 (NCI, Common Cancer types, 2006; American Cancer Society, 2006). The best chance of long term survival is early detection of disease when a curative procedure can be undertaken, usually by complete surgical excision, though curative chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy are effective in some situations such as early stage Hodgkin's lymphoma and seminoma of the testis.
