Quincy_7 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 You can't completely eliminate the risk of all cancers but getting the HPV shot is still an easy win because of all the different cancers that HPV causes. Vulgarii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uclablueyes Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Not surprised either. All of the 80s kids were brought up on fast food before we all knew how bad it was. Our intestines can only take so much. Time for more frequent check ups for sure. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Vegas_Millennial Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 According to the article the main reason is better early screening technology, therefore more types of cancer being detected earlier. Interesting statistic in the article was the cancer rate was going down in men, but up in women. That is very similar to the change in workforce participation rates: going down for men and up for women. I wonder if the stress associated with paid work is causing cancer, or there is just better health screening of those in the workforce than those not.
