2050 forecasts an 84% surge in male cancer cases, with cancer-related deaths nearly doubling and prostate cancer deaths rising by 136%.

A new study forecasts an 84% surge in male cancer cases by 2050, rising from 10.3M in 2022 to 19M, with cancer-related deaths among men nearly doubling, increasing by 93% from 5.4M to 10.5M. Researchers attribute this to higher tobacco and alcohol consumption, increased exposure to workplace hazards, and lower cancer screening proactivity. By 2050, prostate cancer deaths are expected to rise by 136%, and skin cancer may become the leading cause of cancer deaths.
