00:00Certain types of cancers are more prevalent among Gen X and Millennials, according to
00:05a new study led by the American Cancer Society, ACS.
00:10The study, published in the journal The Lancet Public Health, analyzed data from over 23
00:16million patients who were diagnosed with 34 different types of cancer over two decades.
00:23The patients ranged in age from 25 to 84, representing multiple generations.
00:29Risks, symptoms, and treatments for lung cancer, the deadliest cancer in the world.
00:36Researchers found that the prevalence of small intestine cancer, kidney cancer, and pancreatic
00:41cancer was two to three times higher in those born in 1990 than those born in 1955 for both
00:47males and females and for liver cancer in females, according to an ACS press release.
00:54Rates were also higher among younger groups for breast cancer, estrogen receptor positive,
01:00uterine cancer, colorectal cancer, non-cardiogastric cancer, gallbladder cancer, ovarian cancer,
01:07testicular cancer, anal cancer in males, and Kaposi's sarcoma in males, the study found.

01:16Certain types of cancers are more prevalent among Gen X and millennials, according to
01:21a new study led by the American Cancer Society, ISTOC.
01:26Other cancers that were more prevalent in younger groups included myeloma, leukemia,
01:32cardiogastric cancer, and non-HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer in women.
01:39Lower risk of colorectal cancer.
01:42New study suggests.
01:44Death rates also rose among younger groups for liver cancer, females, gallbladder cancer,
01:50uterine cancer, testicular cancer, and colorectal cancer.
01:55These findings add to growing evidence of increased cancer risk in post-baby boomer
02:00generations, expanding on previous findings of early onset colorectal cancer and a few
02:06obesity-associated cancers to encompass a broader range of cancer types, said Dr. Hunesum,
02:13lead author of the study and a senior principal scientist of surveillance and health equity
02:18science at the American Cancer Society.
02:21In the ACS release, mammogram results, the incidence of cancer among people under age
02:2750 around the world is projected to increase by 31 percent by 2030, studies have shown.
02:34EYESTOCK Birth cohorts, groups of people classified
02:38by their birth year, share unique social, economic, political, and climate environments,
02:45which affect their exposure to cancer risk factors during their crucial developmental
02:50years.
02:51While researchers have identified some cancer trends associated with certain age groups,
02:56they don't yet have a clear explanation for why these rates are rising, Sung added.
03:01Artificial intelligence detects cancer with 25 percent greater accuracy than doctors in
03:08UCLA study.
03:09Cancer has historically been associated with aging, yet doctors have seen an alarming trend
03:15of surging cases among those under 50 years of age, according to Edward S. Kim, MD, the
03:23physician-in-chief of City of Hope Orange County and vice physician-in-chief of City
03:28of Hope National Medical Center in California.
03:32It is vital that we identify the reasons behind this trend.
03:36This latest trend indicating increases in early-onset cancer is a paradigm shift, Kim,
03:42who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital via email.
03:47It is vital that we identify the reasons behind this trend, educate the public, advance prevention
03:54and early diagnosis, and develop more effective treatments.

04:13There is considerable evidence pointing to environmental causes of early-onset cancers,
04:19according to Kim.
04:20We cannot deny that an extensive range of environmental factors have rapidly transformed

04:35Early detection is critical.
04:37While controlling these factors can be difficult, Kim said, modifications to diet and lifestyle
04:43could make a substantial impact, particularly when implemented in youth and early adulthood.
