Recent reports indicate a concerning rise in cancer diagnoses among younger individuals in the United States and globally, with doctors including Dr. Monique Gary of Grand View Health in Pennsylvania, alarmed by the trend. The exact cause of this increase remains unclear, but several theories suggest lifestyle changes such as decreased physical activity, the consumption of ultra-processed foods, and exposure to new toxins may be contributing factors. The incidence of colon cancer has notably risen among people in their 20s. Medical professionals are urgently trying to understand the factors making these young people sick and how to identify those at high risk. Major news outlets like The Wall Street Journal and ABC News have reported on the alarming trend, with data showing a 12.8% increase in US cancer rates in 2019 compared to 2000. A study in BMJ Oncology reported a sharp global rise in cancers in people under 50, with the highest rates in North America, Australia, and Western Europe. People born in the 1990s are at double the risk for early-onset colon cancer and four times the risk for rectal cancer compared to those born around 1950, with colorectal cancer being the leading cancer death in men under 50.
US cancer rates for young people are slowly rising, particularly colorectal cancers. https://t.co/78SmagqAEJ
Rate of cancer increasing and emerging earlier in age probably nothing. Probably not related to something invited in the past 50 years we consume increasingly.

Colorectal cancer is the leading cancer death in men under 50. I’m joining @RepDebDingell in petitioning @HHSGov to treat a follow-up colonoscopy as a preventative service, which will lower costs for patients and increase access.

Cancer rates increasing in young people, and doctors have no idea why. Based on which cancers are increasing most, I’m guessing it has something to do with people being fatter. https://t.co/R1nEr7VQX2 https://t.co/Q7X9pu0FG3

“Cancer is hitting more young people in the U.S. and around the globe, baffling doctors.” https://t.co/5NlTh7m0d9 Note that the graph shows cumulative change in cancer rates, not absolute levels. Young people are still much less likely to get cancer than older people. https://t.co/fb52BEu2TU
