Global cancer cases to surge to 35 million per year by 2050, driven by inequality and aging
TL;DR
The WHO projects global cancer cases could rise from about 21 million in 2024 to 35 million per year by 2050, with the heaviest impact in low-income countries where surveillance and treatment are limited; aging and obesity will drive rises, though gains in tobacco control and HPV vaccination show progress and prevention remains uneven.
