Cancer is increasingly being diagnosed in younger adults, including people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Dr. Manish Sharma, HOD and Consultant - Medical Oncology at Manipal Hospitals Dwarka, New Delhi, explains that while the exact causes are still being studied, lifestyle factors such as obesity, lack of physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, and changing dietary habits may play an important role. Gut health and family history may also influence cancer risk.
He highlights the importance of staying alert to unusual symptoms and discussing timely screening with a doctor, especially if there is a family history or other risk factors. Since screening guidelines continue to evolve, expert medical advice is essential for early detection and better outcomes.
Awareness, healthy lifestyle choices, and timely consultation can make a significant difference in prevention and treatment.
