"Researchers from Harvard Medical School even referred to the cases of cancer in young age as a "developing global epidemic". This was revealed in a study. According to Dr. Sivakumar, many young cancer patients are affected by stomach cancer. "The cause is still unknown, but we are seeing an increasing number of patients experiencing stomach cancer," said Sivakumar."

Not only stomach cancer, but also colorectal cancer has increased among adults under the age of 55. A study published last year in BMJ Oncology found a 79% increase in early cancer incidence and a 27% increase in early cancer-related deaths between 1990 and 2019.

Apart from that, breast cancer, trachea, bronchus, lungs, large intestine, and stomach are the main causes of diseases and deaths in young adults in 2019. Researchers state that this is due to poor eating habits, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, physical inactivity, and overweight.

The growth of certain cancers can be influenced by various factors, including genetic factors and changes in the gut microbiome. These factors can play a role in increasing a person's risk of developing cancer, although not all mechanisms and causes are fully understood. Source: NYPost
