Insomnia in Young Adults Linked to Rising Early-Onset Cancer Risk

Two MD Anderson-led studies of more than 18 million US adults aged 18–50 found that poor sleep patterns are linked to higher risk of early-onset cancers (bowel, breast, uterine, ovarian), with insomnia associated with up to a threefold increase in cancer risk within five years. While the findings suggest sleep disruption could be a modifiable risk factor, experts caution that association does not prove causation and more research is needed to account for lifestyle factors and other confounders. Globally, cases and deaths from cancer in under-50s have risen over recent decades.

Birth and gut bacteria may drive rise in young-onset bowel cancer

Researchers say bowel cancer in people under 50 is rising sharply and may be driven by early-life gut bacteria and environmental exposures, including an E. coli strain that produces a genotoxin; diet, obesity, birth practices (like cesarean delivery), antibiotics, and other factors are being studied to explain the trend and inform prevention.

Rapid Rise in Cancer Cases Among Young Adults Revealed in Global Study

A global study has found that the number of cancer cases among individuals under the age of 50 has increased by nearly 80% in the past three decades. The research, which analyzed data from 204 countries, revealed that global cases of early onset cancer rose from 1.82 million in 1990 to 3.26 million in 2019. The study suggests that poor diets, alcohol and tobacco use, physical inactivity, and obesity are among the contributing factors. Breast cancer accounted for the largest number of cases and deaths, followed by windpipe, lung, stomach, and bowel cancers. The study warns that without intervention, the number of new early onset cancer cases and deaths will continue to rise by 2030.
