Core Tip

Core Tip: This study is the first to explore the global burden of digestive cancer among young adults. By assessing 6 major digestive cancer types, I provide up-to-date estimates across levels of sex, geographical region, and human development. Furthermore, this study investigates the long-term trends in digestive cancer in young adults, serving as the latest report to aid oncology studies and increase awareness of digestive cancer among this underserved subpopulation. Through continuous prevention, screening, and early detection programs, the digestive cancer burden in young adults can be reduced.
