Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the global cancer burden in adolescents and young adults (ages 15-39) for the years 2022 and 2050, focusing on incidence, mortality, and case fatality.
- About 1.3 million new cancer cases and approximately 377,600 cancer-related deaths were reported in this age group in 2022, with higher incidence and mortality rates in females compared to males.
- The research indicates that while high-income countries have the highest cancer incidence, low-income countries face higher death rates, leading to significantly differing case fatality rates between these regions.
