Seventeen of 34 types of cancer have become more
common in younger generations in the United States, the
broadest study of its kind to date has found. The analysis,
published in August 2024 in The Lancet Public Health,
examined data from 23.7 million people born between 1920
and 1990 and diagnosed with cancer between 2000 and 2019.
It found, for example, that people born in 1990 were 2.6 to 3.6
times more likely to develop cancers of the small intestine,
kidney, and pancreas than those born in 1955, and 2.6 times
more likely to develop endometrial cancer than someone born
in 1930. The findings suggest people are increasingly being
exposed to carcinogens during early life or young adulthood.
However, younger birth cohorts were at the same or lower risk
of death from most types of cancer than older ones.
