Argentum: Global Cancer Deaths Among Men Projected to Increase by 93 Percent by 2050, Study Finds

According to a new study published in the Journal of the American Cancer Society and cited by CNN, cancer cases and deaths among men are expected to surge by 2050, with large increases among men age 65 and older. A research team from Australia analyzed cases and deaths from 30 different types of cancer in 185 countries and territories in 2022 to make projections for 2050. Their findings suggest that cancer incidence rates are rising among younger generations in 17 of 34 cancer types, including colon and breast cancers. The study projects overall cancer cases among men will increase from 10.3 million in 2022 to 19 million in 2050, an 84 percent increase. Deaths among men aged 65 and older were projected to increase by 117 percent.  (August 12, 2024)
