Australians in their 30s and 40s are facing an alarming surge in cancer diagnoses, and researchers are scrambling to understand why. ABC asks what can be done to curb the rise, and are we ready?

“Cancer has traditionally been a disease of aging.” But this is rapidly changing, explains Professor Dorothy Keefe, CEO of Cancer Australia. Our modern world poses challenges which previous generations have not had to take into account. We absorb fine particulates from the air which go deep into our bloodstream, eat more ultra-processed foods which can mess with our gut bacteria and immune system, and face the unprecedented stress of work, money and raising families. Dan Buchanan notes a 500% increase in rates of prostate cancer: “It never should be said that someone is too young to have cancer”. 40-year old mother and accountant Fiona explains her confusion: “I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I wasn’t obese, I was trying to do all the right things, and it still happens”, referring to her surprising diagnosis of Hepatocellular carcinoma.
