Cancer’s New Face: Younger and Female

WHY? –

Jan. 17, 2025  – Overall cancer rates rising among women under 50, as well as those 50 to 64 years old. These trends represent a marked change for an illness that has long been considered a disease of aging, and which used to affect far more men than women.

These trends represent a marked change for an illness that has long been considered a disease of aging, and which used to affect far more men than women.

The shifts reflect declines in smoking-related cancers and prostate cancer among older men and a disconcerting rise in cancer in people born since the 1950s.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, but the leading cause among Americans under 85. The new report projects that some 2,041,910 new cases will occur this year and that 618,120 Americans will die of the disease.
