It’s true. Each year, more than 4.6 million men and 3.5 million women die of cancer globally, according to the 2014 World Cancer Report – compiled by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and published by Cancer Research U.K. That puts the global rate of cancer deaths among men – 126 for every 100,000 people – 50 percent higher than that of women, which is 82 deaths out of 100,000 people. The figures also reveal that every year, more than 14 million people worldwide find out that they have cancer, with men being 25 percent more at risk than women.
