Key Points

To investigate the factors contributing to the rising burden of early-onset cancers.
Analyzed population data focusing on early-onset cancers
Examined the relationship between population growth and cancer burden
Evaluated changes in risk factors over time
Early-onset cancer burden increased significantly due to population growth
Ageing of the population contributed notably to the rise
Increased risk was also identified for later-onset cancers.

Abstract

The increase in the burden of early-onset cancers was driven mainly by population growth and ageing, and to a lesser extent by an increased risk, also observed in later-onset cancers.
