Cancer research equity: innovations for the many, not the few
Cancer research continues to deliver hugely successful innovations. Each year brings more and better therapeutic drugs. New medical technologies, such as CAR T-cell therapy, are improving outcomes and our understanding of cancer has never been so advanced. Yet, globally the number of cancer deaths has increased by 40% in just over a decade. According to new estimates, more than 35 million new cancer cases are predicted in 2050 (a 77% increase from the 20 million cases in 2022), mostly in countries with a low or medium Human Development Index.
