A report on cancer statistics just published in, CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, states that:

The number of new cancer cases had ticked up to more than two million in 2023, from 1.9 million in 2022.

According to the report, cancer rates are increasing for six of the 10 most common cancers:
breast, prostate, melanoma, kidney, pancreas and uterine, while lung, colorectal and pancreas cancers cause the most deaths.

Among adults younger than 50, colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer death in men and the second-leading cause in women, behind breast cancer. In the late 1990s, it ranked fourth in both men and women younger than 50.

So, it seems that there's no more appropriate time than now to listen to this important discussion I had with Dr. William Li about his research applying both biology and biotechnology to understand cancer preventing compounds in food and how the body responds to what it's fed!
