In South Africa, cancer diagnoses are predicted to increase by 78% over the next 12 years.
While the numbers climb, the Gauteng Health Department is disputing claims that it's heading for another disaster in its cancer treatment unit.
This follows reports that cancer patients are being sent home from government hospitals due to a lack of resources.

Hundreds of cancer patients are waiting up to a month to get treatment at the province's state hospitals.
Some patients are being sent home because radiation machines at Chartlotte Maxeke and Steve Biko Academic hospitals aren't working.
But the department says it's too early to press the panic button.
According to Dr Medupi Modisane of the Gauteng Health Department: "We're not heading for a crisis. The workload has definitely increased. We're seeing a lot of patients but crisis is a strong word."
It appears the shortage of oncology specialists may be countrywide.

KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Health MEC, Sibongiseni Dhlomo is due to face the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) over the lack of meaningful progress in dealing with the oncology crisis in his province.
There's just one oncology specialist left in that province.
