Early-Onset Cancer Rates Rise Worldwide

Cancer is not common for young people under 50. But doctors see more young people with cancer now. Researchers in the US want to learn why cancer is increasing in young adults.

A new study looked at many young people with cancer. The study found more breast, colon, kidney, and uterus cancers.

The study looked at 33 types of cancer. They found 14 types increasing in young people.

One expert, Tim Rebbeck, said this is important. He said we need more research to understand why this is happening.

Researchers looked at cancer numbers from 2010 to 2019. They compared the number of cancers in 2019 with what they expected from 2010.
