A shock number. More than a million people under the age of 50 die from cancer each year, a study published in BMJ Oncology and quoted by The Guardian. According to the researchers, the number of people under the age of 50 being diagnosed with cancer worldwide has increased by almost 80% in three decades. In total, global cases of early-onset cancer rose from 1.82 million in 1990 to 3.26 million in 2019, while cancer deaths among adults in their 40s, 30s or younger increased by 27. %.
