February is National Cancer Prevention Month. According to a study released last year, more individuals under the age of 50 are being diagnosed with cancer, both here in the United States and worldwide.
RELATED:“It’s a very concerning trend for sure and one we see in clinic all the time,” said Dr. Kuneel Samath, an oncologist for Cleveland Clinic. “If you look at my clinic schedule, and I just kind of scan through the ages of the patients coming in, there are a lot more people in their 20s and 30s than there were in the past.”
However, according to the study, part of the rise in cancer cases may be due to people getting screenings done at a younger age.The researchers also noted specifically that obesity seems to play a role. Today, nearly 75% of Americans are considered overweight or obese. That number was under 40% 25 years ago.
