Leading doctors have warned of a mysterious new “epidemic” of abdominal cancers in younger people.
“When I started as a cancer surgeon 20 years ago, you rarely saw any younger patients, but now I see them regularly.
When they turn up they are shocked, because often they haven’t had any symptoms and because of their age they are not thinking about cancer.
It’s a huge thing to get your head round at that age and of course many have young children. My thoughts are with Kate and her family. It must have hit them like a bus.” ~ Prof Andrew Beggs
