As cancer cases rise among younger adults, some types of the disease have higher burden than others, study finds | CNN

Scientists have long known that cancer cases among adults younger than 50 have been on the rise in many parts of the world since the 1990s. But a new study suggests that certain types of cancer – breast, tracheal, bronchus and lung, stomach and colorectal – have caused the most disease and death in this younger age group.

Uhhh, yeah. Different kinds of cancer are different, in almost every way possible, except for the fact that they are all cancers.

The phrasing to me makes it sound like triage medicine - “since younger people have it we have to pick whose cancer we care about”

This is the best summary I could come up with:

But a new study suggests that certain types of cancer – breast, tracheal, bronchus and lung, stomach, and colorectal – have caused the most disease and death in this younger age group.

“It is worth exploring whether early screening and prevention programmes for early-onset cancer should be expanded to include individuals aged 40–44 and 45–49, but further systematic studies and randomised trials are necessary to make a definitive determination.”

When examining the burden of early-onset cancer across different regions of the world, the researchers found that North America had the highest age-standardized incidence rates while the lowest were in Western Sub-Saharan Africa.

“It is important to educate both the public and healthcare professionals regarding the possibility of certain cancers in younger adults to allow earlier diagnosis, which in turn improves outcomes,” Hamilton and Coleman wrote.

“Prevention and early detection measures are urgently required, along with identifying optimal treatment strategies for early-onset cancers, which should include a holistic approach addressing the unique supportive care needs of younger patients.”

“This would have limited the authors ability to draw reliable conclusions about how temporal trends of these risk factors contributed to cancer incidence or mortality over time.”
