Cancer Risk in Generation X and Millennials

A new study published in the Lancet Public Health journal reveals that Generation X and millennials face a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer compared to earlier generations. The study found rising cancer incidence rates in younger generations for 17 common cancers, with rates increasing for each successive birth cohort since 1920. Researchers emphasize the need to identify and address the underlying risk factors in these populations to explain and combat the increasing cancer rates.
