“ Looks to me the stats here are pre-Covid”

I think it was happening before as well. Lot of extra deaths from breast and colon cancer in younger people for at least a decade. Would be interesting to know what all is causing this

Nope, it is now beach walks on beautiful sandy beaches here on Atlantic ocean. I quit treadmill since it was giving me bouts of sciatica attacks. I simply can not believe how much energy I still have. Mowing my good sized lawn with push mower even during hot summers in Florida.

I never imagined regular exercise would be this beneficial in my mid-80’s. Bonus is no diabetes (was diagnosed border line in mid-50’s), no heart issues, no joint aches.

Anyone reading this, please start a regular mild exercise daily routine. Better than any medicine or food supplements. I want all Freepers to live long and healthy lives.

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.

Do you spend a lot of time on Cruise Ships?

You has a smellz about you!

Your bragging about good health on a cancer thread is incredibly tone deaf.

Hmm.. sounds kind of familiar... (of someone who has been missing since mid February)

Sure does.

Say, Bobby, do you ever go on cruises?

“Per capita” cancer rates have been falling since about 2000 or so:

Read the fine print on how those stats are collected at your second link.

Deep State is screwing with ICD-10 coding for a reason.

It was the two comments about unexplained or causes Unknown about increasing rates in younger people that was of interest.

Skin cancers - basal, squamous, melanoma - are massively over diagnosed.

I suspect that is a trend in all USA medical specialties, at least partly because of malpractice fears if something unusual really does develop into cancer.

With skin cancer, if dermatologists preemptively blasted every suspicious lesion or mole with liquid nitrogen, the skin cancer rate would drop by 90%.

Instead, most dermatologists do nothing but look - or, they do a thousand dollar biopsy.
