A large new study from researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) has found that Generation X and Millennials in the United States are at a higher risk of developing 17 types of cancer compared to previous generations.
The study was published today in The Lancet Public Health.
Study Findings
The researchers found that cancer rates are continuing to climb in younger generations in 17 out of 34 types of cancer and that mortality rates have also increased in conjunction with several cancer types, including liver (in women only), uterine corpus, colorectal, gallbladder, and testicular cancers.
