Cancer rates rising faster among younger people, international study finds • FRANCE 24 English

The number of people under the age of 50 diagnosed with prostate cancer in England has quadrupled since 2001. Researchers aren’t exactly sure why there’s been such an increase but say the broad reason could be linked to a growing rate of obesity, poor diets and a lack of exercise. FRANCE 24’s Sharon Gaffney speaks with Jon Shelton, Head of cancer intelligence at Cancer Research UK.
