Highly recommend this less than 20 mins podcast from Nature that talks about the stats/data, possible causes, and ongoing studies focusing on understanding why there is an increase in cancer in young adults. "Early onset cancers (occurring in those less than 50 years old) still accounts for only a fraction of the total cases, but the incidence rate has been growing. This rise, coupled with an increase in global population, means the number of deaths from early onset cancers has risen by nearly 28% from 1919-2019 worldwide." "Often early onset cancers affect the digestion system with some of the sharpest increases in colorectal, pancreatic, and stomach cancer." https://lnkd.in/gts-Spw2
