WHO: Global cancer cases will increase by 77% by 2050

Global cancer diagnoses will reach 35 million by 2050, according to new estimates from the World Health Organization – a 77% increase from the 20 million cases diagnosed in 2022.

The data, released Friday by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, covers 185 countries and 36 forms of the disease, CNN reports.

The researchers found that lung cancer was the most common form worldwide in 2022 – responsible for 2.5 million cases, 12.4% of the total – followed by female breast, colorectal, prostate and stomach cancers.

Lung cancer was also responsible for the majority of cancer deaths: 1.8 million, or almost 19% of the total.

From 1991 to 2021, cancer deaths in the US fell by 33%, largely due to declining tobacco use, early detection and major improvements in treatments. However, racial disparities persist, with people of color facing higher risks./CNA
