“SEER in the news: Generation X showing higher rates of new cancer diagnoses.

In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers from NCI Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics used de-identified cancer data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program to study if rates of new cancer cases are increasing or decreasing across different generations in the US.

Men and women from Generation X had higher rates of new cancer cases compared to their parents’ generations. Read the article to see which cancer types increased the most.”
