It’s probably because the article is quite sloppy. It doesn’t link to the original study. It doesn’t discuss anything about how diagnosis rates and incidence rates might differ (e.g. increased screening / better medical care). It reports a global figure without attempting to disaggregate, so we don’t know if this is a dramatic change across the globe or driven by improving healthcare in developing countries that previously weren’t diagnosing cancers reliably.
