A study by researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital reveals that the incidence of early onset cancers — including breast, colon, esophagus, kidney, liver, and pancreas — has dramatically increased around the world, with the rise beginning around 1990. “We found that this risk is increasing with each generation,” Shuji Ogino, professor, physician-scientist https://ow.ly/36B150LH04b. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/09/researchers-report-dramatic-rise-in-early-onset-cancers/#:~:text=A%20study%20by%20researchers%20from,the%20rise%20beginning%20around%201990

One of the most alarming cancer statistics is the percentage of cancers still being diagnosed in the later stages, despite the efforts of national cancer screening programs. Why are we still reaching people late? Here are a few key reasons: - Postponement of cancer screening (especially during COVID) - Most symptoms don't appear until the cancer has progressed - Shortcomings in existing screening programs (i.e. inconvenience, access, missed cancers) When cancer is found in the early stages, survival rates dramatically improve. With the emergence of liquid biopsies like ARISTOTLE® that can help detect multiple cancers from a simple blood draw, we can help find more cancers in the early stages.
