In the study published in the Journal of Cancer, Australian researchers analyzed cases and deaths from 30 types of cancer in 185 countries and territories by 2022 to make forecasts for 2050.
The study predicts that the total number of cancer cases in men will increase from 10.3 million in 2022 to 19 million in 2050 - an increase of 84%.The number of cancer deaths is expected to increase from 5.4 million in 2022 to 10.5 million in 2050 - an increase of 93%.The number of cancer deaths in men aged 65 and older is expected to increase by 117%.
Countries with lower income and longevity are also expected to witness the number of deaths from cancer in men increases."During the period from 2022 to 2050, in Africa and Eastern Mediterranean, the number of cases and deaths is expected to increase 2.5 times. In contrast, Europe is expected to increase by about half.", the researchers wrote.
Men are currently likely to die from cancer than women.Men have a higher ability to smoke and drink alcohol, these are behaviors that lead to many cancer cases and have the ability to contact the carcinogens at a higher workplace.They are also less likely to access screening programs.

Like in 2022, lung cancer is expected to be the leading cause of cancer and cancer deaths in men in 2050. Cancers have the highest expected increase in men by 2050 by 2050The epithelium tumor (in terms of cases) and prostate cancer (in terms of death).
The researchers said that the infrastructure and the ability to access health better - including the full working force - to improve the current and prepared cancer treatment results for an increase in increased.Expected by 2050.
Earlier this year, a report from the American Cancer Association found that population growth and population aging were the main driving force to promote the burden of cancer in the world, with global population (about around.8 billion people in 2022) are expected to reach 9.7 billion people by 2050.
When it comes to the number of cancer cases worldwide, "we think that number will increase to 35 million cases by 2050, mainly due to the increasing number of old population" - Dr. William Dahut, directorThe science of the American Cancer Association, told CNN before.
If more people use tobacco and have more obesity, along with other risks of cancer, the number of cancer cases is expected to increase even higher, especially in low -income countries.
