Why are cases rising so fast?

The exact reasons for the rise in bowel cancer among younger people in the UK are still unknown, which is why the Prospect-UK trial is so vital. Scientists suspect a combination of diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors, but pinpointing the specific causes requires a large-scale study like this one to analyse detailed participant data. This rise is a global concern.
