Australians aged in their 30s and 40s are experiencing unprecedented and in some cases world-leading rates of at least 10 different types of cancer — and scientists are desperate to understand why.

Between the year 2000 and 2024 — in 30–39 year olds — early onset prostate cancer increased by 500 per cent, pancreatic cancer by 200 per cent, liver cancer by 150 per cent, uterine cancer by 138 per cent and kidney cancer by 85 per cent.

Seeing a lot of stories about young people getting cancer. Could be some better detection as well with symptoms being written as something else.

Throw in diet, nutrition, fitness etc it's probably a combination.
