Overview

• The incidence of six cancers, including glioblastomas, kidney cancer, liposarcomas, Hodgkin lymphomas, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer, has risen significantly among 15-39-year-olds in France over the last two decades.
• Glioblastomas, an aggressive brain cancer, saw the steepest annual increase at 6.11%, followed by kidney cancer at 4.51%.
• Obesity is suggested as a potential factor contributing to the rise in digestive system and kidney cancers, though further research is needed to confirm this link.
• Cancers such as melanomas and those of the head and neck have shown declines, attributed in part to public health prevention measures.
• The study emphasizes the need for enhanced prevention strategies and further investigation into risk factors to address these trends effectively.
