What should our community do to address the rising cancer rates among younger people?

Healthcare
Global
Iniciada October 08, 2026

New major research has found that cases of several different kinds of cancer have risen sharply among young people in England, the US, and in the Netherlands. The number of people under the age of 50 diagnosed with prostate cancer in England has quadrupled since 2001. Researchers aren't exactly sure why there's been such an increase but say the broad reason could be linked to a growing rate of obesity, poor diets and a lack of exercise.
