Researchers from NIH conducted an analysis revealing that between 2010 and 2019, the incidence of 14 cancer types increased among individuals under age 50. Notably, nine of these types, including breast and colorectal cancer, also saw an uptick in older age groups (50+ years). In contrast, 19 cancer types like lung and prostate cancer decreased in younger individuals. Therefore, the overall cancer diagnosis rates remained stable without an increase in cancer-related deaths, presenting a nuanced view of cancer trends in different age demographics.
This study provides a starting point for understanding which cancers are increasing among individuals under age 50, suggesting specific risk factors may be to blame.
Researchers found that from 2010 to 2019, 14 cancer types saw increased incidence among people under age 50, alongside some increases in older populations.
