According to recent statistics, cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide. In the United States alone, it is estimated that over 1.9 million new cases will be diagnosed this year, with men being disproportionately affected. In fact, one in eight men will die from cancer by the age of 85.
The American Cancer Society reports that in 2022, approximately 14% of all cancer diagnoses were among men aged 55-64, while 21% were among those aged 65 and older. These numbers highlight the importance of early detection and treatment for this devastating disease.
In a sobering reminder of the human toll of cancer, actor Julian McMahon passed away at the age of 56 after a battle with the disease. His passing serves as a poignant reminder of the need for continued research and awareness efforts to combat this scourge.

Jun 18 Cancer continues to risein terms of excess
total mortality = 8.1%
treatment expense = 22.5%
younger age mortality = 31.3%
All this while the 65+ age brackets are DOWN in cancer (pull forward effect) – so we actually do not see the REAL cancer increase just yet.
