A new US government study reveals that early-onset cancers, particularly breast, colorectal, kidney, and uterine cancers, are increasing among individuals aged 15 to 49. The study analyzed over two million cancer diagnoses from 2010 to 2019, finding that 14 out of 33 cancer types showed rising rates in younger age groups, with women being more affected. While death rates for most cancers in young adults remain stable, some cancers are seeing increases in mortality. The study suggests obesity and changes in screening practices as potential factors for these trends. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
