This is the best summary I could come up with:

Scientists expect cancer rates to nearly double across the globe in the next quarter-century, fueled by aging, obesity, and tobacco and alcohol use.

That number will rise by 77% to 35 million by 2050, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) predicted Thursday.

Countries with lower levels of development, however, will see a disproportionate increase in cancer rates, potentially putting a greater burden on their health systems.

“The impact of this increase will not be felt evenly across countries of different [development] levels,” Dr. Freddie Bray, head of the Cancer Surveillance Branch at IARC, said in a news release about the data.

Obesity and alcohol consumption are contributing to colorectal cancer’s rising death toll among young adults, they assert.

This year, bowel cancer deaths among young people—Millennials and Gen Xers aged 25-49—are predicted to rise in some European countries for the first time, according to their report.
