Why are young people prone to colon cancer?

Colon cancer or colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the colon or rectum. The colon and rectum are parts of the digestive system, responsible for processing food and eliminating waste.

Europe’s ‘tidal wave’

To summon the words of WHO, “a new west-to-east tidal wave is sweeping across the region”, not meteorologically but by the close-to-the-bone yardstick of public health. Hans Kluge, WHO’s regional director for Europe, has substantiated the finding ~ “The region saw over seven million cases of Covid-19 in the first week of 2022, more than doubling over a two-week period.” The data and the time-span are mind-boggling enough. This renders the continent of Europe second to the United States of America in terms of the spread of the dreaded illness.
