新加坡年轻成人和青少年癌症发病率自2019年以来上升了34%,这受生活方式因素和早发趋势的驱动。 Young adult and teen cancer rates in Singapore rose 34% since 2019, driven by lifestyle factors and early-onset trends.

新加坡年轻成人和青少年癌症病例自2019-2023年以来比2003-2007年增加了34%,30-39岁男性和40-49岁女性的癌症病例增幅最快。 Cancer cases among young adults and teens in Singapore have risen 34% since 2019–2023 compared to 2003–2007, with the fastest increases in men aged 30–39 and women aged 40–49. 直肠癌和乳腺癌呈上升趋势,特别是年轻男子的直肠癌和30和40岁妇女的乳腺癌。 Colorectal and breast cancers are rising, especially rectal cancer in young men and breast cancer in women in their 30s and 40s. 这一趋势反映出全球早期癌症发病率上升,这与生活方式和环境因素有关,如加工食品、肥胖症、定居习惯和肠道微生物变化。 This trend reflects a global increase in early-onset cancer, linked to lifestyle and environmental factors like processed foods, obesity, sedentary habits, and gut microbiome changes. 专家指出, 病例增加不仅仅是因为检测结果更好, 因为许多病例是在晚期诊断的。 Experts say the rise isn’t just due to better detection, as many cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. “出生组群效应”表明1950年代后出生的每一代人面临更高的风险。 A “birth cohort effect” suggests each generation born after the 1950s faces higher risk. 虽然并非所有病例都是可以预防的,但健康习惯——例如均衡的饮食、体育活动、避免吸烟和酗酒——可以减少风险,同时进行定期筛查。 While not all cases are preventable, healthy habits—such as balanced diets, physical activity, and avoiding smoking and alcohol—can reduce risk, along with regular screenings.
