[Generation X and millennials are at greater cancer risk than previous generations: Possible causes and implications]

Abstract:
The incidence of early-onset malignancy (EOM) diagnosed under the age of 50 has been increasing worldwide. In the USA, Generation X and the millennials are up to 2 times more likely to develop 17 of the 34 most common cancers than the baby boomers at any given age. Globally, the incidence of EOM increased by 79.1% between 1990 and 2019. Early-life exposure may be linked with EOM development and may forecast a greater disease burden in the future. Possible causes and consequences are discussed with regards to cancer prevention.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
