Bowel Cancer Is Rising Among Under-50s Worldwide, Study Finds

A recent study has shown that rates of bowel cancer are increasing among younger adults, with England experiencing a faster rise compared to other countries. According to the BBC, data from around the world indicates a rise in early-onset bowel cancer cases in people under the age of 50. The study, published in the journal Lancet Oncology, revealed that 27 out of 50 countries examined reported an increase in rates, with the highest annual increases seen in New Zealand, Chile, Puerto Rico, and England.

Experts are still investigating the reasons behind this trend, with factors such as consumption of junk food, lack of physical activity, and the obesity epidemic likely playing a role. The study also highlighted the risks associated with eating processed meat and a lack of dietary fiber.

“The increase in early-onset colorectal cancer is a global phenomenon,” said Hyuna Sung, a senior principal scientist at the American Cancer Society and lead author of the study. “Previous studies have shown this rise in predominantly high-income western countries, but now it is documented worldwide,” he added.

The study found that bowel cancer rates in individuals aged 25 to 49 increased in 27 of the 50 countries studied over the past decade. In countries like England, Norway, Australia, Turkey, Costa Rica, and Scotland, young women were found to have a faster increase in early bowel cancer rates compared to men.

It is important for people to be aware of early signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, such as blood in stool, changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, and bloating. Prevention strategies tailored to younger generations and local resources are essential to address this concerning trend,” Mr. Sung emphasized.

“Ongoing efforts are crucial to identify additional factors contributing to these trends and to develop effective prevention strategies globally,” he added.
