Yes, Sean, as a millennial who is also a hypochondriac, I regret to inform you that younger people, people under 55, which is usually the definition of an early onset cancer case. are in fact getting cancer more often. There's a little couple of ways to slice it.

The Wall Street Journal ran an analysis last year of National Cancer Institute data, and the way they put it was one in five new colorectal cancer patients in the U.S. is under 55, which is twice the rate. that we saw in 1995. There was another study that found that, I think it was between 1990 and 2019, the rates overall of cancer among younger people had increased by 80%.

It seems like no matter how you look at it, and I looked at a variety of studies for my story, cancer rates among young people are increasing, which I don't know about you, I feel like fits with just my observations in the world.

Yeah, it's definitely something that's built slowly over time. I talked to a guy at Georgetown named John Marshall, and he's been in this field for decades, and he said at the beginning of his career, he never would have seen a cancer patient under the age of 50. But these days, he sees it all the time.

And the way he put it to me is that at least anecdotally, people who practice cancer medicine, who treat cancer patients, it's like everybody kind of started to notice at the same time about a decade ago, like, huh, it seems like I'm starting to get more interested. and more young people coming in with more advanced cancers and more aggressive cancers.

And so then we started to see some of this data that I'm referencing that sought to quantify how big has the change really been. And they did confirm that, yeah, this isn't just people's perceptions at the population level. There are higher rates of cancers among young people.
