2024 Cancer Facts & Figures Cancer | 2024—First Year the US Expects More than 2M New Cases of Cancer | American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society ^ | 7/21/24 | CottonBall

The American Cancer Society reports lower overall cancer death rates, yet incidence is increasing for many common cancers, including 6 of the top 10.

...

What might be most striking about the rising incidence is that it’s affecting increasingly younger people.

Cancer patients are getting younger. Cancer risk increases with age, and people most likely to be diagnosed with cancer are adults age 65 and older. But this trend is beginning to change.

People age 65 and older (sometimes referred to as older adults) represent a growing proportion of the overall population, but their numbers are shrinking in the proportion of new cancer cases. In 1995, people age 65 and older accounted for 61% of cancer diagnoses and during 2019 to 2020 their contribution dropped to 58%.

In contrast, people ages 50 to 64 (sometimes referred to as middle-aged adults) are growing in numbers for both the population at large and the population of people with cancer. This shift toward middle-aged patients reflects both steep decreases in the incidence of prostate cancer and smoking-related cancers in older men and increasing incidence in men and women born since the 1950s. Although some of this increase is probably because of the obesity epidemic, there are thought to be other unknown causes as well.

The proportion of people under age 50 (sometimes referred to as younger adults) diagnosed with cancer dropped from 15% to 12% because of their shrinking representation in the general population (from 74% to 64%). Interestingly, though, they were the only one of the three age groups with an increase in overall cancer incidence from 1995 to 2020.

Especially notable is the rise in colorectal cancer diagnoses among people younger than 50. In the late 1990s, colorectal cancer was the fourth leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in this age group, and now, it is the first cause of cancer death in men younger than 50 and the second cause in women that age. The cause of the rise of colorectal cancer cases in younger adults remains unexplained but likely reflects changes in lifestyle exposures that begin with generations born around 1950, the authors say.

Cervical cancer is increasing in incidence in an even younger population—women ages 30 to 44. (In contrast, the incidence of cervical cancer in women who were among the first groups to have received the HPV vaccine—who are now ages 20 to 24—declined 11% a year between 2012 and 2019.)

What could it be, what could it be? The MRNA “vaccines” are goi to keep killing a lot of people.

Old article, from January. I didn’t see this posted, only a reference to it.

Unknown causes of increased cancer rates in younger adults....if the ACS is openly admitting this now, the cause shouldn’t be far behind.

I had 3 jabs of Moderna mRNA 3 years ago. Still alive and well in mid-80’s. Not a single health issue. I am saving Medicare a fortune. I have no medical bills.

Congrats. You won the MRNA lottery. There are plenty of losers who aren’t here to comment.

The vaxxes are a game of Russian roulette.

Don’t try it with live ammunition, please.

My sister is dying from a cancer that is spreading rapidly. She is vaxxed because of her job.

Looks to me the stats here are pre-Covid so ascribing it to the vax is a little premature (though I will not be surprised if they really spike 2020 and later).

I am so sorry. I will send up a prayer for your sister and you. :(

I lost my sister to cancer almost four years ago. We were very close and I miss her.

That’s incredible!

Do you work out on a treadmill, regularly?

Just curious if that’s a part of your health regimen.

So very sad ... I’m sorry.

Prayers up, for your dear sis and your family.

Evil what they mandated.

Not everyone has the same reaction due to genetics and age. Just sayin’.

Glad you are healthy.

There was a website where you could look up how bad your jab was to see how other people fared who got your same batch of shots. It was pretty amazing the different reactions in batches from the same company.

My one shot batch had a 1.4% fatality rate, of which I came very close to being part of.

It said this about the projected statistics

“Counts were then projected 5 years ahead based on the average APC generated by the Joinpoint regression model. The number of cancer deaths expected to occur in 2024 was estimated by applying the previously described data-driven Joinpoint algorithm to reported cancer deaths from 2007 through 2021 at the state and national levels, as reported by the NCHS.26”

So since they’re just guesstimates, it could spike quite a bit higher than what they are saying. Which is already a strange anomaly that they cannot explain away.

Yes, many people had serious side effects. Hopefully the percentage was small. On hindsight, I probably would have skipped the jabs. But in 2021 there was considerable panic about covid, and I decided to get the jabs. 2nd jab had quite noticeable effect, such as feeling tired and lack of energy and some body ache similar to flu coming in. If I had such reaction, while I am in top physical condition with daily gym exercise, I can easily visualize old folks with health issues could experience more severe side effects.
