That’s because everyone dies! The article avoids mentioning that cancer rates have risen as other causes, particularly infections, have declined over many decades. The average lifespan has increased globally. In developed countries this is largely due to improvements in cardiovascular drugs/treatment and cancer drugs.

The standard survival rates are quoted as 5 year survival unless the cancer is particularly aggressive eg pancreatic. The statistics around cancer are very high quality and public in most countries. However, I suspect data will not influence your view.
