Deaths due to cancer- Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, every year millions of people lose their lives to this disease. This is a disease that has no boundaries, it can affect anyone at any age.
This is such a dangerous disease that it can affect the socio-economic background of the entire family. However, a recent research has expressed deep concern that by the year 2050, the number of deaths due to cancer in men is sure to increase.
Because of this, men are more at risk of getting cancer than women
As life expectancy increases globally, so does the risk of developing cancer. Older men are more susceptible to certain types of cancer, such as prostate and lung cancer, which are the most common forms of cancer in men.
This research has been done on the basis of 185 countries.
The researchers looked at population data from 185 countries and territories, as well as 30 cancer types, to estimate cancer incidence and mortality in men. In this study, the researchers found that men are more likely to smoke and drink alcohol than women, which increases their risk of cancer and cancer-related deaths. In addition, men are more likely to be exposed to carcinogens at work and are less likely to be screened for cancer.
People over the age of 65 are at risk
According to the researchers, men aged 65 and older had lower survival rates than younger men because they were less tolerant of therapy and received diagnoses later in life. In addition, some of them are unable to pay for health care. During this period, it is estimated that the number of elderly people dying from cancer will increase from 3.4 million to 7.7 million, while the number of new cases will increase from 6 million in 2022 to 13.1 million by 2050.
The researchers also identified differences in cancer according to the economic status of different countries, the researchers wrote, “Between 2022 and 2050, in Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean, the number of incident cases and deaths is projected to increase by 2.5-fold. In contrast, the increase in Europe is projected to be roughly half.”
This percentage will increase from 2022 to 2050
Lung cancer is projected to be the leading cause of cancer cases and deaths worldwide in 2050, with a rise of more than 87% from 2022 to 2050. This is followed by colorectal and prostate cancer. Prostate cancer will become more deadly by 2050. In addition, skin cancer may cause more deaths.
