Cancer diagnoses appear to be on the rise worldwide, but what might explain this apparent increase? We investigate, with input from experts.
While death rates are decreasing, there has been an increase in diagnoses, with an expected increase of almost 50% by 2050. With the growing population — including the elderly population — and the utilization of advanced imaging diagnostics, which detect earlier stages of cancer and/or more indolent forms of cancer, rates could continue to climb.
