> Global cancer diagnoses will reach 35 million in 2050 ... from the 20 million cases diagnosed in 2022. How much of this can be attributed to population growt

  Perhaps some, but only a small amount... current targets are hitting between 8.4-9.5 billion by 2050 (some estimates are we'd have already hit peak and be going down)! At about 8 billion today, we're talking between a 5% and an 18ish% increase. Either way much less than the increase in cancer diagnosis incidence.
