Appendix cancer is a condition that, until recently, was so rare that most people never gave it a second thought.
For decades, it was the kind of disease that doctors might encounter only once or twice in a career, and it was almost always found in older adults.
But now a surprising and concerning trend is emerging: appendix cancer is being diagnosed more often, and it's increasingly affecting people in their 30s, 40s and even younger. This shift has left many experts puzzled and searching for answers.
The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine. Its purpose in the body is still debated, but it's best known for causing appendicitis, a painful inflammation that often requires emergency surgery. What's less well known is that cancer can develop in the appendix, usually without any warning signs.
A new study, published in Annals of Internal Medicine, has shown that the number of appendix cancer cases has increased dramatically among people born after the 1970s. In fact, the incidence has tripled or even quadrupled in younger generations compared with those born in the 1940s.

Safe and effective.
Like most filters, it can get overwhelmed leading to infection or total failure
So what would it be trying to filter lately that it wasn't before?
Not a clue.
You’re supposed to remove the lint every so often.
Really though a short fast does clean your body's filters.
Try going on a water fast a couple times a month. You will start to feel better.

Well the appendix serves as a restart resevoir of gut bacteria for the intestines. If an infection starts there you have appendicitis, usually. But many cancers start around an infection, ask docs who cut open tumors and find a bacterial infection in the center, so it may be something where the bodydeals with a small infection but the infected cells secrete enough problem chemicals to affect cells around them to turn cancerous.
