Cancer is one of the growing serious health problems globally, due to which millions of people die every year. Even though the treatment of cancer has now become easier due to modern medical practice, it is still a big risk. Health experts say people of all ages and sex can get cancer. Due to many types of environmental problems with lifestyle, the risk of this disease is seen to be increasing quite rapidly. In a recent report, health experts have alerted those who have rapidly increased the rising risks of cancer at the age of 40–50.
A report of the study conducted to know the dangers of cancer has been released, in which scientists have expressed concern that people below the age of 50 are facing more possibility of a diagnosis of cancer. From 2010 to 2019, the rate of diagnosis of cancer has been reported to increase at this age. During nine years, this rate has increased from 100 to 103 per one lakh people, indicating that the risk of this deadly disease is increasing rapidly among the youth.
The risk of cancer is increasing among youth
According to the study published in Jama Network Open, this increase has been more in some types of cancer cases. Along with lifestyle and dietary disturbances, many types of environmental conditions have been found to increase the risk of cancer, which alerts people to alert all people for prevention. Breast cancer cases are being seen the most in young women. Researchers have also said that the risk of cancer may be high in women.
More risk in women
Researchers included over 5.60 lakh people in this study. It has been found that there is more possibility of a diagnosis of cancer in women, while the rate of cancer in men below 50 years has declined by 5%. The highest number of cases are being seen in people between 30 and 39 years. The biggest concern for young people suffering from cancer is that it is not known in time, due to which the risk of spreading cancer can be high.
Increase in gastrointestinal cancer
The study report found that breast cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting the young population, while the greatest increase in gastrointestinal (GI) cancer has been observed. The rate of people with GI cancer (colon cancer and cancer of appendix) has seen an increase of 15%. Researchers say, while the cancer rate in youth is increasing, it is being seen even in the old population.
What do researchers say?
The researchers say that keeping in mind the types of figures being seen, it is very important to understand the cause of cancer growth in young people. If we do not understand what are the cause of this risk and do not try to change it, then there is a fear that the pressure at the global level can be very high due to deadly cancer. Cancer has always been a major concern, and the report of this study has increased its risks even further.
It is not clear in the report of the study why the rate of cancer is increasing in young people, but scientists found some possible causes such as obesity, alcohol and smoking, lack of sleep, seller lifestyle, and pollution in the environment found the major risk factor for this. Is. Health experts say, all people need to be alert to cancer risks, if you already have a risk factor or have a family history of cancer, then it would be even more important to know about the prevention measures from a doctor.
