The rise in cancer deaths among younger adults in the United States is a growing crisis. Yale Cancer Center experts Elena Ratner, MD, MBA, and Cary Gross, MD, share insights into what may be driving this increase, from delayed diagnoses to gaps in prevention and screening, and why urgent action is needed.

Statistics show a clear spike in eight cancers in younger people, but that has brought a debate over whether many cases ever needed to be found.

“Once again I have to say that Dr. Talsania is a great doctor in all ways. She is kind, personable, very attentive, and she pays attention to every detail. She doesn't let anything escape her notice, and she is persistent in examining every piece of the puzzle to fully understand what is happening in my body. She explains her thinking and listens to my ideas. She invites me to make decisions and gently pushes if I am resisting something that would truly help. I am very, very grateful to have her as my doctor."
