With the release of the American Association of Cancer Research Cancer Progress Report 2024, we address two aspects of cancer and its treatment in younger age groups addressed in the progress report: first, the chronicity of financial hardship and second, inequities that burden the totality of society and hinder progress of scientific advances in cancer control and treatment. Financial hardship for younger age groups diagnosed with cancer causes lasting financial damage to both the patients and their families. Advancements in new technologies and treatments that improve survival may not be as effective if they are unaffordable or will cause lasting financial distress. As the incidence of early-onset cancer increases, the burden of cancer and its economic toll are expected to increase. Research to study economic and social aspects of cancer to inform the development of effective and sustainable policy solutions is necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
