"Obesity, Alcohol, and Young Adults: The Alarming Rise of Colorectal Cancer"

Research published in the Annals of Oncology reveals that bowel cancer deaths among young adults in Europe, particularly Millennials and Gen Xers, are predicted to rise due to factors such as obesity, alcohol consumption, and reduced physical activity. In the U.S., colon cancer diagnoses and deaths among adults under 50 have been increasing, with Millennials at twice the risk of colorectal cancer compared to Baby Boomers. Lifestyle changes and early screenings are recommended to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
