Younger generations face increasing cancer rates, with suspected culprits such as modern lifestyle factors and environmental chemicals like microplastics, urging the identification and mitigation of underlying risk factors.
The study in The Lancet reveals a 2-3 times higher cancer rate for people born in 1990 compared to those born in 1955 for certain cancers, emphasizing the rising trend in cancer incidence among the younger population.
Certain cancers are on the rise amongst younger birth cohorts, while decreasing within older generations. This trend underscores the urgency of uncovering and addressing the root causes behind the surge in cancer cases among the youth.
