Cancer registries: the bedrock of global cancer care
The International Agency for Research on Cancer predicts more than 35 million new cancer cases in 2050, a 77% increase from 2022. The greatest burden will fall on low-income and middle-income countries, where cancer mortality rates are expected to almost double over the next 25 years. There are huge inequities in cancer care that, without action, will worsen. This is a pressing global health issue, with an urgent need to scale-up prevention and care services. Yet many countries lack the data to plan accordingly.
