However, there is still no established conclusions that do support these theories.” Furthermore, she notes that this is not an issue that is not easy to investigate – “bowel cancer has been evolving for years, and research participants do not always know how to indicate a specific factor over the years preceding their illness. The issue is still underway, but there is no doubt that this is an alarming and unexplained global trend. ”

 

Prof. Ben Aharon believes that scientists are trying to understand, among other things, what causes the clear differences between generations. “The chance of those born in the 1990s to develop greater cancer compared to those born in the 1920s, which is definitely something that requires in-depth and widespread research,” she says.

In spite of everything, He was glad he was alive. “the-CT I got back to an answer that I was in life. With a stoma you can get along. ”

Halasartan Association: “Family doctors must be alert to symptoms“

According to the Halasartan Association, statistically every family doctor in Israel will meet once a year on average or younger who will be diagnosed with cancer. Therefore, they make it clear that family doctors must be vigilant to symptoms and know the seven common cancers among young people aged 44-18: breast cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, melanoma, cervical cancer and colorectal cancer.

They also make it clear that the patient’s young age should not serve as an early diagnosis barrier. The association notes that, according to the Ministry of Health, published in 2022, in 2018 cancer was the first cause of death in its prevalence among 24-15-year-olds, the third cause of death in its prevalence among boys and men aged 24-15 and the first cause of death in its prevalence among men and women aged 64-25.
