Forecast crude death rate per 100 000 people (men and women combined), reference scenario, 2024–2050. Shaded band: 95% uncertainty interval for prostate cancer.

Breast and prostate rates are per 100 000 of the whole population, so they understate the rate among women and men respectively. Forecast built on the GBD 2019 round.
