Key Points Question What is the estimated economic cost and cost distribution of 29 cancers in 204 countries and territories from 2020 to 2050? Findings In this decision analytical modeling study, the global economic cost of cancers from 2020 to 2050 was estimated to be $25.2 trillion (in international dollars at constant 2017 prices). The economic burden and the health burden were distributed unequally across countries, world regions, and country income groups. Meaning Results of this study suggest that global efforts to contain projected increases in the burden of cancers are warranted.
