The number of cancer deaths worldwide is expected to rise by nearly 75 per cent in the next 25 years – despite advances in treatments and efforts to curb risk factors, a new analysis has found.
The uptick means 18.6 million people are expected to die of cancer in 2050. New cancer cases are projected to rise by over 60 per cent in that time, reaching 30.5 million, according to the report published in the Lancet medical journal.
