- The study used GBD 2021 data to analyze and project the global burden of 33 malignant tumor groups across 5 SDI areas and 21 regions from 1990 to 2041.
- In 2021, malignant tumors caused 23.4 million new cases, 9.8 million deaths, and 251 million DALYs, ranking third globally for DALYs.
- Tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer was the leading cause of cancer mortality overall and in males, while breast cancer led in females.
- In high-SDI areas, malignant tumors were the top cause of DALYs, with TBL, colorectal cancer (CRC), and breast cancer as leading contributors.
- Projections to 2041 show decreasing age-standardized incidence rates for stomach and esophageal cancers, but increases for CRC, breast, prostate, and other cancers.
- Cancer burden varies by SDI level and gender, with high-SDI regions dominated by TBL and CRC, and lower-SDI regions facing more gender-specific and infection-related cancers.
