VANCOUVER, BC, May 3, 2024 /CNW/ -- According to a "highly troubling" new study, the rising number of cancer cases in young people is being attributed to "accelerated aging." Further alarm is being spread by the United Nations, whose health authorities are predicting global cancer cases to rise around 77% by 2050, with richer countries expected to have the greatest absolute increase in cancer, with an additional 4.8 million new cases predicted in 2050. With the global cancer immunotherapy market projected by analysts at Custom Market Insights to reach US$314.4 billion by 2032, growing at a 7.2% CAGR, the biotech sector continues to make significant developments in cancer treatment and diagnostics, with recent updates coming from Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
