The Claim
Cancer incidence rates in women under 50 years are 82% higher than in men of the same age, primarily due to increases in breast and thyroid cancers, while rates in men have declined slightly.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
This means that for people under 50, women get cancer more often than men—about 82% more often. This is mostly because breast and thyroid cancers are becoming more common in women, while cancer rates in men have actually gone down a little bit.
