CBSN
The World Health Organization predicts we will see more than 35 million new cancer cases by 2050, a 77% increase from the estimated 20 million cases in 2022.
The data comes from a report the organization's cancer agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, released ahead of World Cancer Day, which is observed on Sunday, Feb. 4.
In a survey looking at 115 countries, the WHO also found a majority of nations don't spend enough on cancer care and treatment.
