Scientists have long known that cancer cases among adults younger than 50 have been on the rise in many parts of the world since the 1990s. But a new study suggests that certain types of cancer – breast, tracheal, bronchus and lung, stomach and colorectal – have caused the most disease and death in this younger age group.
The phrasing to me makes it sound like triage medicine - “since younger people have it we have to pick whose cancer we care about”
