Global trends in incidence, death, burden and risk factors of early-onset cancer - “Global incidence of early-onset cancer increased by 79.1% and the number of early-onset cancer deaths increased by 27.7% between 1990 and 2019.” Scary! #Cancer and #Malignancies are on the rise worldwide. As a 2x survivor, two different kinds of cancer one after the other, these trends concern me. Our ignorance of environmental and viral triggers for cancer and our unwillingness to tackle the problem with a coordinated worldwide effort is a root cause of this increase. #Healthcare #PublicHealth #tumors #neoplasm https://bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/2/1/e000049

Sad to read (but not surprised ) that survival of people with end stage #kidney disease #ESKD remains lower than many #malignancies.
