There is a troubling trend across the United States and South Florida: more adults under 50 years old are being diagnosed with cancer.“Colon cancer at 38. That wasn’t something that we would’ve ever thought,” said Mathias. “She just thought she was tired a lot, she was dealing with fibroids, which I believe masked the colon cancer.”
“That feeling that because you’re young this will not affect you, this will not get to you, unfortunately it’s not true,” said Dr. Brian Hunis, Medical Director of Medical Oncology at Memorial Cancer Institute. “I would tell you being part of that age group, it is scary because we used to treat people older than we are. And it’s not quite frequent to treat people our age or younger.”
Why this is happening is much more complex. Our diet, environment, lack of exercise, drug and alcohol use are all believed to be factors. Dr. Hunis says above all it’s the food we eat. “You only have one body you might as well feed it right. It’s easier said that done because unfortunately it’s a lot cheaper and easier to eat unwell that to do it well,” said Dr. Hunis.
