It’s Not All Bad News
Overall, the study found that Millennials and Gen Xers had a markedly higher prevalence of 17 cancers.
It’s not all bad news, though, because the study also showed that the incidence of several types of cancer is on the decline.
Cervical cancer is now less common in women born after 1990. This is due to the fact that HPV vaccinations were initially authorized in the United States at the time these females turned sixteen.
Lung, laryngeal, and esophageal cancers have decreased as a result of the smoking cessation.
Early detection has led to a decrease in the fatality rate, even though overall incidence rates among Gen X and millennials have grown.
