After comparing the incidence rates of bowel cancer in 50 nations between 1943 and 2017, experts have cautioned that early-onset tumors are turning into a “global phenomenon.”
Between 2007 and 2017, colorectal cancer rates rose in 27 out of 50 nations evaluated, according to a study published in The Lancet Oncology journal.
According to the American Cancer Society, throughout those 10 years, the number of diagnoses among England’s under-50s (those between the ages of 25 and 49) rose by 3.6% annually.
The findings indicated that rates have mostly grown in high-income Western nations, such as the United States, Canada, and England.
Additionally, compared to their male counterparts, young women from nations like Norway, Turkey, and Australia were shown to have higher incidences of early colon cancer.
