Aargauer Zeitung: Cancer Cases in Young People Are Increasing – Also in Switzerland

A recent report by Aargauer Zeitung reveals a concerning trend: Since the 1990s, certain cancers – including breast, colorectal, and thyroid cancer – have been increasing significantly among millennials.

Our Vice-President Prof. Sacha Rothschild puts this into perspective:

  • Many suspected causes of rising cancer rates remain unproven.
  • What is certain: early detection, advanced diagnostics, and clinical research are dramatically improving survival rates today.

At the Swiss Cancer Institute, this drives our commitment:

  • We conduct research 365 days a year to ensure patients benefit from innovative therapies and enjoy an improved quality of life.
  • All in line with our mission: Clinical Research for a cure tomorrow.
