Cases of some types of cancer are rising faster in people under 50, according to an international analysis that examined data from England, the United States and the Netherlands.

The World Cancer Research Fund identified "significant increases" in early-onset cancers for seven types of tumors in England, five in the United States and four in the Netherlands.

In England, among the 12 types of tumors analyzed, the incidence of prostate cancer in men under 50 increased from 1 case per 100,000 inhabitants in 2001 to 3.6 cases in 2023.

Colon cancer in people under 50 increased from 3.9 to 8.4 cases per 100,000 population during the same period. Rates of uterine and kidney cancer also doubled, while increases were also recorded for breast, pancreatic and liver cancer.

A similar trend was identified in the United States. In people under 50 years of age, the incidence of kidney cancer increased from 2.5 cases per 100,000 population in 2000 to 5.3 in 2023. Colon, uterine, and pancreatic cancers increased by more than 50%, while breast cancer increased by about 20%.

In the Netherlands, significant increases in colon, kidney, liver, and cervical cancer were found.

In contrast, lung cancer in people under 50 fell in all three countries, a development that researchers attribute to the continued decline in smoking.

Cancer continues to be much more common in older people, with the median age of diagnosis over 60. However, researchers find the rapid increase in cases among young people worrying.

The World Cancer Research Fund says that obesity, poor diet, lack of physical activity, alcohol, smoking and exposure to environmental factors may contribute to this trend.

About 40% of cancer cases are linked to risk factors that can be modified, according to the organization.

However, experts warn that the increase cannot be attributed solely to lifestyle.

Greater awareness of symptoms and earlier diagnosis may explain some of the additional cases, but not all of the trend.

"We don't fully understand why more cancer cases are occurring in people under 50," said Vanessa Gordon-Dseagu of the World Cancer Research Fund, highlighting the need for further research into early-onset cancers.
