For context, looking at UK data: 1. Yes incidence of cancer in 25-49 year olds has increased 22% from 1993 to 2018 - but that is 22% on a very low number which means it is still a very low number. When you account for increased screening, greater awareness, and better testing, the increase is likely even smaller. https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-... 2. Better treatment (and more effective screening) means mortality rates per 100k from all cancers in 25-49 has dropped c.40% over the same period (despite higher incidence). https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-... So whilst this is obviously important to study. At least the UK data doesn't seem too terrifying but I m no expert. |
