(Washington, DC) — Younger people are being diagnosed with cancer more often then before.

Gastrointestinal cancers had the fastest-growing rates. The study’s authors write that it’s important to inform health care professionals of the discovery and urged experts to look into possible tumors when clinically appropriate, even in those under 50 years old.
