Early-onset cancer cases rising in US, England, Netherlands

A World Cancer Research Fund study found significant rises in early-onset cancers among under-50s in England, the US, and the Netherlands. Prostate cancer in England rose from 1 to 3.6 per 100,000 (2001–2023). US kidney cancer doubled since 2000. Experts link the trend to obesity, poor diet, and inactivity. Lung cancer cases declined due to falling smoking rates.
