Cancer rates are climbing among people in their 20s, 30s and early 40s. But while researchers are still working to better understand what could be driving the perplexing rise, experts say there are steps young people can take to help lower their risk.
“Historically, cancer’s been bad luck, bad genetics,” said Arif Kamal, chief patient officer for the American Cancer Society. “It’s this thing that sneaks up on you when you’re not looking for it, and it affects your life in a way that you couldn’t do anything about.”
A growing body of research, however, has examined how lifestyle choices and environmental exposures contribute to the disease. Those factors, unlike genetics, can be controlled to some degree.
