CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians

🌍 New Global Cancer Stats from @AmericanCancer @IARCWHO show 20.6 million people were diagnosed with cancer and 9.8 million died from cancer worldwide in 2024. The global cancer burden is projected to rise 53% to 31.5M by 2050. acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.3322/ca… @FreddieBray_ @OncoAlert

🚨New GLOBOCAN 2024 data show that the global cancer burden is not only increasing, but also widening inequalities. Incidence is higher in developed countries, whereas mortality is disproportionately greater in LMICs. By 2050, new cancer cases may reach 34.4 million! New drugs alone will not be enough; prevention, early detection, and equitable access are essential🌍🌎🌏 acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.3322/ca…

Cancer will rise fastest where health systems are most fragile! 20.6M new cancer cases. 9.8M deaths. By 2050, 34.4M cases are expected. The future burden will fall hardest on lower-HDI countries. The solution: prevention, early diagnosis, and access. #Cancer #equity #access @OncoAlert @OpenMedicineHQ @CACancerJournal @WHO @ASCO @myESMO @uicc @AfriCF
