An Australian study has predicted that by 2050, the number of deaths caused by cancer will almost double worldwide.
The study estimates that 18.5 million people will die of cancer in the world in 2050, which is 89.7 percent more than the 9.7 million in 2022.
The researchers, led by Habtamu Bijuayehu of the University of Queensland, analyzed the incidence and mortality rates of 36 types of cancer in 185 countries and projected future cancer morbidity and mortality by applying this rate to the United Nations population forecast for 2050.
In 2022, there are 20 million cancer cases, and it is estimated that it will reach 3.53 million in 2050.
It is estimated that by 2050, cancer cases and death rates will increase three times in countries with low ranking in the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI).
Lung cancer is projected to be the leading cause of death from this disease in 2050, up from 18.7 percent in 2022.
Between 2022 and 2050, the study shows that the number of cancer patients and deaths will be slightly higher in men than in women.
