>Between the year 2000 and 2024 — in 30–39 year olds — early onset prostate cancer increased by 500 per cent, pancreatic cancer by 200 per cent, liver cancer by 150 per cent, uterine cancer by 138 per cent and kidney cancer by 85 per cent.
>"But over the last 20 years, there's been a real — it's small in absolute numbers — but it is a real increase in the number of younger adults developing these cancers."
>Since the year 2000, rates of bowel cancer in 30–39-year-olds have increased by 173 per cent — and the stage the cancer is at when diagnosed is often late, meaning it is more likely to have spread and harder to treat.
>That means the environment — or the exposome — between the 1960s and 1990s is crucial to understanding this puzzle.
>Research is finding that exposure — probably early in life — to a toxin from a bowel bug called E. coli could be driving some of the mutations that Dr Buchanan is seeing in his bowel tumour samples. He's convinced it's one of the causes.

> But the challenge to determine when the exposures occurred is another variable which makes tracking cancer causes hard — because tumours can take decades to develop.
