Topline:

A major study by the National Cancer Institute shows that rates of many early-onset cancers, especially in women under 50 are rising sharply, with breast, colorectal, kidney, and uterine cancers leading the increase. These trends suggest a pressing need to reevaluate cancer screening and prevention strategies for younger populations.
