The American Cancer Society has come to some surprising conclusions as a result of a major study.
The risk of developing cancer has increased significantly among members of Generation X and millennials.
The study results show that millennials and Generation X are more susceptible to cancer than boomers, writes The Lancet Public Health .
Scientists believe that the incidence of some types of cancer increases with each subsequent birth cohort.
Generation Xers and millennials are more likely to get cancer than boomers.
Millennials are nearly three times more likely to develop pancreatic, kidney, or small bowel cancer than boomers.
Moreover, their risk of uterine cancer is 169% higher than that of those born in the 1930s.
Researchers believe this is due to earlier exposure to carcinogens on people's health.
