Cancer diagnoses are shifting from older to younger adults and from men to women, according to a report released Thursday by the American Cancer Society.

Women under the age of 65 are more likely than men to be diagnosed with cancer, according to new data from the American Cancer Society.

The risk and incidence of cancer among people under 50 is also on the rise, according to American Cancer Society.

Women are now being diagnosed with cancer more often than men in certain age groups, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society. Among adults aged 50-64, cancer rates are slightly higher in women, and women under 50 are almost twice as likely as men in the same age group to receive a cancer diagnosis.

A new report from the American Cancer Society has uncovered a shocking and deeply concerning trend: young women under 50 are 82% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than their male peers. Let that sink in.

The study also says the number of people dying of cancer overall continues to drop. Michael George takes a look at the research.
