CANCER cases in Fiji have steadily increased over the past several years, says Minister for Education Rosy Akbar.

While opening the MIOT International Cancer Conclave in Nadi yesterday, she said statistics have revealed that there was mostly an increasing incidence of breasts cancer, cervix and other reproductive tract cancers in women.

“In men, cancers such as prostate, liver, rectal and lung cancer are common,” she said.
