People younger than age 50 are becoming more likely to be diagnosed with cancer, according to comprehensive new data.

Women were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer, while the rate of cancer among men under age 50 declined by 5%. When the researchers analyzed the data based on a person's race or ethnicity, they found that cancer rates were increasing among people who are Asian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, American Indian, or Alaska Native. The rate of cancer among Black people declined and was steady among White people.

The only age group that saw cancer rates increase was 30- to 39-year-olds. One of the top concerns for younger people with cancer is that there is a greater risk for the cancer to spread.
