It's absolutely wild that this article on the frightening rise in early onset colorectal cancer doesn't mention the precipitous increase in microplastics and nanoplastics in our bodies as a potential carcinogen. Lifestyle, diet, medications, heavy metals, and PFAS are mentioned, but not microplastics (or pesticides!!).

We keep using age as the basis for mass cancer screening while the incidence keeps rising in younger people, age <50. A major new report today--see Figure below for age 30-39, race/ethnicity, and types of cancer https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2808381?utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_term=081623

@erictopol In view of this dataset it is no surprise that we observed a sharp increase of young female patients (non-hereditary, MSS)...with no history of tobacco or alcohol abuse. The reasons for these young-onset colorectal cancers remain unclear... @cyrilpedia @colorectalcancer @dfarberyoungcrc

I mostly engage here on and related topics, with a bit of ranting and activism.

You may also see me pop in to conversations about and as that’s where my current career started in 2005.

When my 1st was born with in 1996 I started and never stopped and love cloud toys. I lost my dad to in 1999 and helped start what are now the two leading advocacy orgs in USA.
