American doctors have stated that cancer has ceased to be a disease of elderly people throughout the world.
More and more young people are being diagnosed with cancer, according to the authors of a study published in the journal BMJ Oncology .
Scientists are recording a sharp global increase in the number of cancer patients under the age of 50 in North America, Western Europe and Australia.
Doctors are concerned that cancer patients are getting younger, and some speculate that it could be due to some environmental change, diet, or something else that hasn't been identified yet.
