Cancer deaths among men predicted to increase 93% by 2050, study finds

Cancer cases and deaths among men are expected to surge globally by 2050, according to a new study from the American Cancer Society.

In the study, published Monday in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the ACS, researchers projected an 84% increase in cancer cases and a 93% increase in cancer deaths among men worldwide between between 2022 and 2050.

The increases were greater among men 65 and older and in countries and territories with a low or medium human development index. The index measures each country's development in health, knowledge and standard of living, according to the study.
