Breast cancer diagnoses in women under 50 have increased significantly in the past two decades, primarily driven by estrogen-receptor positive tumors. This research highlights the importance of early detection and the need for prevention strategies. Prevention efforts in young women need to adopt a targeted approach to address racial disparities in incidence rates observed at different age phases.

Metabolic syndrome and cancer rates appear to be correlated. The rise of both problems among the population hint at a shared root cause.
Probably the modern diet

Can this be explained by screening? i.e. they actively screen for breast cancer so they're going to find it even in cases where it wouldn't have ever affected the patient.
I haven't read the link (not in the mood to parse it) but that's my gut reaction to the title. I highly recommend this video by Medlife Crisis https://youtube.com/watch?v=yNzQ_sLGIuA (also on Nebula) that explains the flaws of screening, it's approachable and it's a fun watch if you're into YouTube edutainment stuff.
