Health officials in Florida have expressed concern over a sharp rise in cancer cases among young people.
Figures from the Florida Cancer Connect Collaborative showed rates for all cancer diagnoses jumped 15 percent among people in their 20s and 30s between 2010 and 2020 — three times faster than the national average.
Rates rose faster in women than men, with doctors warning patients were being diagnosed at later stages when their disease was more advanced and harder to treat.
