Cancer cases in men are expected to increase by 84% by 2050, rising from 10.3 million to 19 million. Cancer deaths in men are also expected to increase by 93% by 2050, which could translate to about 5 million more deaths per year compared to today.

More to read up on, if interested:
- Higher Cancer Mortality in Men: Men have a 69% higher mortality rate from major cancers compared to women, and this disparity is consistent across various types of cancer that affect both sexes equally (White et al., 2010).
- Advanced Stage at Diagnosis: Men are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced-stage cancers, which significantly reduces survival chances. This contributes to the higher cancer mortality rate even when controlling for incidence (Najari et al., 2013).
- Sex Differences in Genetics and Hormones: Biological differences, including the role of sex hormones and genetic variations, contribute to the higher cancer incidence and mortality in men. These differences affect cancer development and the effectiveness of treatments like chemotherapy (Kim et al., 2018).
- Lower Utilization of Health Services: Men are less likely to participate in regular cancer screenings and preventive health services, leading to late-stage diagnoses and higher mortality rates. This trend is especially pronounced among minority and underserved populations (Tucker et al., 2018).
