Is it just because we dont die of other things first?
In: Biology
The largest reason why it’s increasing for young people is that our techniques and technology for the detection of cancer have improved significantly thanks to all the money thats been going in to cancer research for the past few decades. So we’re catching it earlier and more accurately. Even the non harmful benign cancers are being caught sooner.
The other reason is an increased awareness of cancer. People have been educated on what skin cancer looks like and that any unusual lumps really should be looked at by a doctor and not dismissed as something you can ignore.
