Cancer Cases May Double By 2045- NCR
The National Cancer Registry has projected that the number of cancer cases in Ireland may double by 2045.
This rise would mean cases of the disease would reach 43,000, however the body has also said a "more modest" increase of 50% for both genders may happen, if recent trends, including declines continue.
The report warns that if cancer rates and percentages remain the same as in recent years, the number of newly-diagnosed patients undergoing surgery for cancer may jump by 75% by 2045. Those requiring radiotherapy are projected to increase by 77%, while the number needing chemotherapy may rise by 68%.
