Cancer has long been considered a disease of old age. But new research suggests that assumption may no longer hold true. Early-onset cancers—diagnosed before age 50—are rising worldwide, with increasing cases among people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. In this video, we examine the latest scientific findings on why younger adults are facing higher cancer risks, including the role of biological ageing, obesity, chronic inflammation, and other possible factors such as ultra-processed foods, pollution, and changes in gut health. We also explain why experts say persistent symptoms should never be dismissed simply because someone is “too young.” Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage on Firstpost.
