Incidence of 17 cancers on the rise in younger generations, major new study says
Briefly

The cancers on the rise include two types of stomach cancer, small intestine cancer, estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer, and various others, affecting Gen X and Millennials more than previous generations.
Notably, thyroid, pancreatic, kidney, small intestine, and liver cancer in females are diagnosed at rates two to four times greater for people born in 1990 compared to 1955.
While most cancer death rates have reduced, younger generations face higher mortality rates for certain cancers, implying the need for alternative screening methods and research on cancer biology in the young.
