'Latest figures from the WHO’s cancer arm, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, makes plain the growing burden of cancer, rising from 14.1 million new cases and 8.2 million deaths worldwide in 2012 to 20 million new cases and 9.7 million deaths a decade later.'

But didn’t we go from 7 billion humans to 8 billion in that time? What is rate of cancer? Has that increased?

In 2012 rate of cancer cases was 0.020%
In 2022 rate of cancer was 0.025%, so yes a slight increases in cases per capita.
