While scientific advancements in the fight against cancer have improved the lives of millions of people, that progress hasn’t been spread evenly around the world. Inequities in health care will contribute to cancer cases nearly doubling in the next 25 years, warns the World Health Organization (WHO). In the WHO’s Global Status Report on Cancer 2026 released on July 8, the global health agency estimates that the number of new diagnoses per year will jump from 20.6 million today to almost 35 million by 2050. That means about one in five people will develop cancer, and 92 percent of people will be affected by the disease, either through their own diagnosis or that of a loved one.
