A recent study studied the patterns in the incidence of early-onset cancers between 2010 and 2019 in the United States.
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Aug 21 2023Reviewed by Sophia Coveney Recent data seems to suggest that, among people younger than 50 years, the incidence of early-onset cancers is on the rise. However, the availability of updated data is limited.
Cancers affect a variety of organ systems, including the colon, head and neck, kidney, breast, and so on. The increase in early-onset cancers could be linked to other factors, such as changes in the environment, exposure to smoke and gas, and sleep patterns. Cancer is significantly associated with mortality and morbidity.
Key findings It was observed that the overall incidence rate of early-onset cancers increased between 2010 and 2019. During the same period, the incidence rate of cancers decreased among individuals aged 50 years or older. During the study period, the incidence rates declined in male individuals but increased in female individuals. This increase among females was mainly driven by breast and uterus cancers.
Related StoriesThese findings are consistent with a recent Global Burden of Disease Study, which showed that the highest incident rates of early-onset cancer, standardized by age, were in countries that reported a high sociodemographic index, e.g., countries in North America. The data from the current study add to the existing literature.
