“New research highlights shifting trends in early-onset gastrointestinal (GI) cancers across Europe and the Mediterranean.
A multi-country study analyzing cancer registry data (ages 15–49) reveals:
- Colorectal cancer incidence is rising in most countries for both sexes.
- Pancreatic cancer is increasing, particularly among young women.
- Gastric and esophageal cancers remain largely stable.
These findings emphasize the growing importance of prevention, early detection, and further research into lifestyle, environmental, and sex-related factors driving these trends.”
