GEN X CANCER

MEMBERS OF GEN X ARE BEING DIAGNOSED WITH SOME CANCERS AT HIGHER RATES THAN THOSE WHO ARE OLDER. 
A STUDY PUBLISHED IN JAMA NETWORK OPEN SHOWS PEOPLE BORN BETWEEN 1965 AND 1980 HAVE EXPERIENCED DECREASES IN CERTAIN CANCERS INCLUDING LUNG AND CERVICAL CANCER BUT SEVERAL OTHERS ARE INCREASING INCLUDING THYROID, KIDNEY, PROSTATE, AND OVARIAN. THE STUDY AUTHORS SUGGEST THIS COULD KEEP THE OVERALL CANCER RATE HIGH FOR DECADES IN THE US.
