A global study reveals increasing cancer cases among younger populations, particularly linked to obesity. The research, covering 42 countries from 2003 to 2017, shows rising rates of several cancers in adults aged 20 to 49, with thyroid cancer seeing the steepest increase. While the trend is concerning, older populations still bear a higher burden of cancer cases. Another study suggests that the rise in early-onset cancers may be due to overdiagnosis rather than a true increase in disease prevalence. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
