Major increase in colorectal cancer in younger adults tied to pandemic years, researchers say

There has been a recent surge in colorectal cancer cases and deaths in young adults around the world. But researchers still don’t quite know why

[…]

Colorectal cancer deaths have surged since 2021. Last year, there were an estimated 152,810 new cases and 53,010 deaths. Whereas in 2023, there were an estimated 52,550 deaths, according to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. This year, the American Cancer Society projects there will be more than 154,000 cases.

Why are so many millennials getting cancer?

If you’re reading this there’s a good chance that you, like me, are a millennial. If so, you’ve probably noticed more and more cases of friends or acquaintances with diseases that you would normally associate with later adulthood – hypertension, type 2 diabetes or perhaps even the one that we’re all scared to name: cancer.

Let's take a moment to support our dear doctors who, despite all their efforts, can't figure out what could possibly be the cause of this worldwide surge. They can't correlate it to anything.

Baffled!

In totally unrelated news… This should get the 'coincidence theorists' going:

Shocking study linking covid jabs and cancer 'censored' by mysterious cyberattack

A global review examining reported cases of cancer following Covid vaccination was published earlier this month, just as the medical journal hosting it was hit by a cyberattack that has since taken the site offline.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15440249/cancer-Covid-vaccination-journal-cyberattack.html

Again the 'scientist /eggsperts' are baffled as to the cause but what they know for sure is that it is in no way whatsoever connected to the 'safe and effectives' !!!!!

Wow! The actual numbers surprised me. Would have thought it would have been less.

What are the causes of all these complaints; including cancers? Without researching each specific complaint. I would say general, and more specific, toxicity, bad diet and poor lifestyle.

Take toxicity first: Far to much medication. Vaccines, Processed food. Food and drink, loaded with colouring, taste enhancers and stuff that prolongs shelf life. Also poisons that are due to manufacturing processes. Plastics and modern farming residual chemicals.

Diet: We are what we eat. Our bodies have adapted over 1000s of generations to utilise what we put in our mouths. Fast food, loaded with preservatives. Food that is not nutritious. Food that has false ingredients added; as in sugars or sweeteners. To make them yummy and morish. They are important factors in unravelling poor health outcomes.

Poor life style: Too much inactivity. Stress. Bad sleeping. Irregular, over eating and late eating. Fear.

Huge health sub-topic this. Can get into the role of microbes and bacteria, and examine the base cells that morph into different phages depending upon the local environment. This is on the go, in our bodies, in real time, and if hindered by toxins, or lack of internal support, the terrain is protected in unexpected ways.

IMO, medicine taken orally, as well as vaccine injections, can also result in these complaints. However, in saying that, vaccines taken during the covid era, and since, should be first on the list for causing injury.

You left this part out;

The authors did not establish a direct causal link between vaccination and cancer.

I can only agree, Stiddle. On the one hand, we should rejoice that the authorities finally have our actual health in mind:

And on the other hand, people need to fully acknowledge what happened in 2021 and 2022:

Phew! And here I was, veering towards the the dark side… Thanks, Patong2021.

Exactly this , most westerners are disgusting fat bodies = ordering GrubHub slop and doing 0 physical exercise.

Why are more under-50s getting colorectal cancer? 'We don't know'

The death of US actor James Van Der Beek was just the latest reminder that colorectal cancer has been surging among people under 50 in recent years -- and no one knows why.

[…]

Similar to other cancers among young people, colorectal cancer has been linked with being overweight, having a bad diet, not exercising enough, drinking and smoking.

But these lifestyle factors are not enough to "account for the massive change that we have seen in a relatively short time frame," Coleman said.

And many of the younger patients appear to have been in good health, including Van Der Beek, who was in great shape before being diagnosed in 2023.

"I was biohacking, I was doing the saunas and the cold plunges and all of it -- and I had stage three cancer, and had no idea," the father of six told a US TV interview in December.

So what could be behind this relatively sudden increase? "We don't know," Jenny Seligmann, a researcher specializing in colorectal cancer at the University of Leeds in the UK, told AFP.

Gotta love the following sentence:

This mystery has led researchers to look for other potential causes…

Wishing you a good search, folks, and don't hesitate to ask the 'conspiracy theorists' for a clue or two…

More likely due to medication, injections, clinical procedures and perhaps - bit only perhaps - vaccines.

Diet might have a big role in this mixed with a sedentary lifestyle ?

If it's colorectal cancer we are discussing wouldn't it have been rim jobs and not blow jobs?

I confirm I know what an opinion is, blaze. Now regarding the matter at hand:

“The original story around this is that it was related to people being unhealthy, obesity, problems with nutrition, but what we are seeing, particularly in my patient base, is that these are healthy patients. So, it’s not fitting the original story we were telling,” said Dr. Marshall. “I think part of what we need to figure out, as fast as we can, is what is actually going on.”

That is a relevant question question that Dr. Marshall asks. What is going on indeed?

As any rational person would.

Cancer has been on the rise in younger people for the past few years, and much research is going into uncovering why this worrying trend is happening.

Because they deserve it.

Probably not much different than the people on this forum who pushed the “safe and effective” mantra and are now over on the health forum talking about their recent Chemotherapy. Millenials were huge proponents of pushing the jab on others, Similar to pushing pronouns and all that other crap.

It’s quite telling when I’m on the health forum and see the people who have for years said, “I got X many boosters and I’ve had no problems” discussing their chemotherapy from a year or two ago.

OOOPs. They let it slip.

Bottom line for me is WHO CARES why they are getting cancer? Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. 😊

Is Colerrcotal cancer the same as anal cancer ?

I thought Farrah Fawcett died of that

Not sure what age bracket that is , but I remember making one of my beloved nasty talks to an old couple during covid ,they were both 84 and parents of my brother's wife ,

He told me they had refused to see anyone included their grandchildren as they were "isolating" in their house to stay away from covid

I found out there number and gave them a call telling them I was there daughter's husband's ( son in laws) brother

I started off so nice....then I told them they should see their grandchildren, no used isolation from covid I said ,everyday is a blessing at 84 ,you won't probality only have a year left anyway ...she hung up on me ...and I was right ,both dead now ,wasted the 6 months isolating , silly old cows !!!

Those old people were just “following the science”.

I wonder what percentage of people who “followed the science” are still following it and getting boosters.

And for those who no longer get the CDC recommended boosters, what happened for them to turn their backs on “the science”?

Are Cancer Rates Really Increasing in Younger People?

Claims of a "cancer epidemic" among young people don't stand up to scrutiny.

• Rates of cancer diagnosis under age 50 have risen in recent years, but overall cancer mortality has not.

• These trends suggest better detection rather than more new cancers.

• Mortality for certain cancers, such as colorectal cancer, has risen modestly and merits attention.

• The absolute risk of cancer incidence in under-50s remain low; there is no evidence of a cancer "epidemic."

Brain tumours I'm sure have increased , never heard much of it before

Anal cancer has too I heard , I like to get checks when I go to Thailand, both prostate cancer check and anal check

It because of the man buns, it pulls all the toxins to the scalp.

Ok. I’m convinced.

But you gotta admit. It’s hilarious seeing all those forum members over in the health section talking about their new cancers, chemotherapy, etc….and every single time…..when perusing their posting history….you’ll see that they all heaped a bunch of hate on us unvaccinated “grandma and grandpa killers” back in 2020-2023.

I’m glad they aren’t posting about jab related problems their kids might be having. That would be depressing.

Kidding! 😁. That would be great too!
