Cancer deaths were projected to rise from 5.4 million in 2022 to 10.5 million in 2050, an increase of 93%.

In contrast, Europe is projected to experience an increase of about one half,\u201d the researchers wrote.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph-primary-core-light\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/clzqy2msy00083b6lceat7qq4@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            Men are already more likely than women to die from cancer. Men are more likely to smoke and drink alcohol, behaviors that drive many cancer cases, and are more likely to be exposed to carcinogens in the workplace. They\u2019re also less likely to access screening programs.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph-primary-core-light\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/clzqy2msy00093b6l1b8rzvtd@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            Just as in 2022, lung cancer is projected to be the leading cause of cancer and cancer deaths in men in 2050.
