People who make up Generation X and Millennials in the US they have increased risk of developing 17 types of cancer, including the mother, pancreas and stomach, compared with older age groups, a published study suggests The Lancet of Public Health.
Research conducted by the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows that mortality trends are also increasing along with the incidence of the disease. liver cancer (women only) body of the uterus, gallbladder, testicles and colorectum.
These findings add to growing evidence increased risk of cancer in the post-baby boom generations,” said lead study author Hyuna Sohn of the ACS.
In addition, they expand on previous findings on early onset colorectal cancer and some related conditions. obesity to cover a wider range of cancer types.
The analysis included data on morbidity 23.6 million patients diagnosed with 34 types of cancer and death figures for 7.3 million people from 25 types of cancer. Participants had between 25 and 84 years old The information was collected between January 2000 and December 2019.
Groups of people classified by year of birth (birth cohorts) share unique social, economic, political and climatic conditionsthat influence their susceptibility to cancer risk factors during critical years of development.

Researchers have identified cancer trends linked to birth years, but they still don’t have a ‘clear explanation’ why are these rates rising— added Sun.
Generation X includes those born between 1965 and 1981while the period 1982 to 1994.
To compare cancer incidence rates across generations, they calculated age- and period-adjusted incidence and mortality rates for each cohort, by year of birth, separated by five-year intervals, from 1920-1990
The results show, among other things, that cancer rates among people born in 1990 were about two to three times higher than in the cohort born in 1955. pancreas, kidneys and small intestine, in men and women; and in liver cancer in women.
Among the different types of cancer, incidence rates in the 1990 birth cohort ranged from 12 percent for ovarian cancer and 169 percent for uterine canceror higher than the birth rate in the cohort with the lowest incidence.
Mortality rates increased in successively younger birth cohorts, along with incidence rates of liver (women only), uterine, gallbladder, testicular, and colorectal cancers.

The rise in cancer rates among this young group of people suggests that generational shift in cancer risk and often serves as an early indicator of the future cancer burden in a country.
Without effective population-level interventions, and given that the increased risk for younger generations continues as people age, “there may be overall increase in the future cancer burden, “We cannot halt or reverse decades of progress in the fight against this disease,” said his colleague and signatory, Akhmedin Dzhemal.
These data, the expert added, underline “the urgent need identify and eliminate risk factors among Generation X and millennials to inform prevention strategies.”
