More people under 50 getting diagnosed with cancer
Cancer cases on the rise in under 50 population
February is National Cancer Prevention Month.
Studies show more people under the age of 50 are being diagnosed with cancer – both in the U.S. and worldwide.
Some of the cases include breast, colon and prostate cancers.
Part of the rise may be due to people getting screened at a younger age.
Other factors may be related to diet, lifestyle and environmental exposures.
