Cancers traditionally associated with older age are increasingly being diagnosed in younger adults, raising pressing questions about what is driving this shift and what it means for cancer prevention and care.
The causes of this emerging trend remain only partly understood. However, growing evidence suggests that cancer risk may reflect complex interactions between genetic, environmental, metabolic, lifestyle, and social factors accumulated throughout the life course.
This day of reflection will bring together experts to examine the biological and environmental mechanisms underlying cancer development at younger ages, explore emerging risk factors and critical windows of exposure, and discuss new perspectives in prevention, early detection, cancer biology, treatment, and survivorship.
Join us to explore the challenges and opportunities emerging from this rapidly evolving field.
