TheScience Alert,The ACS team reviewed the health data of more than 23 million cancer patients in the US, had a year of birth from 1920-1990 and was diagnosed one of 34 different types of cancer from 2000-2019.
The results show that the risk of 17 types of cancer in people of the Millennials generation (or called "gene Y") and "gene X" the incidence of 17 types of cancer is much higher than those born in the early 1960s.Returning earlier, in which the most obvious risk in the 8x, 9x group.
Some types of cancer tend to increase in young people as well as the age of diagnosis is gradually lower - AI illustration: Anh Thu
According to the publication in the Journal of MedicineThe Lancet Public Health, people born in 1990 - and even smaller or bigger than 2-3 years old - at risk of pancreatic, kidney or small intestine cancer 2-3 times higher than those born in 1955.
Women born in 1990 also have a higher risk of liver and bile ducts with similar ratios.
Moreover, 9 types of cancer have the incidence of disease that tends to decrease in the older generation such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, testicular cancer and anal cancer, and is in the price.Increase in young people.
Particularly, uterine cancer is likely to affect people born in the 1990s higher than 169% than those born in the 1930s.
"Data emphasizes urgent needs in identifying and resolving potential risk factors in the X and Millennials generation to offer prevention strategies," ACS's ACS's Epidemiopathy Jemal Jemal said.And emphasize that the risk of young people may increase even more in the next generations.
The new research has expanded a previous study, which found that the rate of cancer in people under 50 years old has increased nearly 80% in 30 years.
If this trend continues, the prospect that the World Health Organization (WHO) warns that by 2050, the number of cancer cases may increase by 77% more and more clearly.
Officials blame tobacco, alcohol, obesity and air pollution are the main factors.
Other exposure factors, such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle or sleep disorders, can also play a role in the incidence of cancer, although these factors have not yet "not yet"Understand ", according to ACS research team.
However, there are some good news, although few ask: the incidence of cervical cancer has decreased by 90% in the younger generation thanks to the gradual dissemination of HPV vaccine.
Smoking -related cancers, such as lung cancer and throat cancer, are also decreasing in younger groups.
