Digestive cancer incidence and mortality among young adults worldwide in 2020: A population-based study

Figure 1 Cancer type distribution for estimated new cancer cases and cancer-related deaths. A and B: Cancer type distribution for estimated (A) new cancer cases and (B) cancer-related deaths in 2020 among younger, adolescent, young adult, and older age groups; C and D: Cancer type distribution for estimated (C) new cancer cases and (D) cancer-related deaths in 2020 among young adults categorized into four 5-year bands. CNS: central nervous system.
