By 2050, this percentage of men will die of cancer, research reveals shocking facts

Cancer is a serious and life-threatening disease. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the whole world, every year millions of people die from this disease. This is a disease that has no limits, it can happen to anyone at any age. It is such a dangerous disease that it can affect the socio-economic background of the entire family. However, a recent research has raised a lot of concern about it, by the year 2050, the number of deaths due to cancer in men is going to increase.

Men are more at risk of getting cancer than women due to this reason

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 some of the most common forms of cancer in men.

This research has been done on the basis of 185 countries.

Researchers studied 185 countries and territories as well as 30 cancer types and demographic data to estimate cancer incidence and mortality in men. In this research, 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 during work and are less likely to get their cancer status checked.

Those over 65 years of age are at risk

According to the researchers, men aged 65 years or older had lower survival rates than younger men, as they are less tolerant of medical conditions and receive a diagnosis later in life. In addition, some of them are unable to pay for healthcare. Over the same period, it is estimated that the number of older men 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 burden according to the economic status of different countries. “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, in Europe, the increase is projected to be about half,” the researchers wrote.

There will be an increase of this much percentage from the year 2022 to 2050

Lung cancer is expected to be the leading cause of cancer cases and deaths worldwide in 2050, with a more than 87% increase from 2022 to 2050. Colorectal and prostate cancers follow. Prostate cancer is set to become the most deadly cancer by 2050. Skin cancer is also expected to kill more people.
