A new American study showed a noticeable increase in appendic cancer cases among Americans born after 1945, and the study found that the diagnostic of appendic cancer has doubled more than 3 times among the newlyweds around 1980, and has doubled 4 times in the newlyweds around 1985.
Development cancer is very rare, as it affects only a person or two people out of every million people annually. While the Millennium Generation (born between 1981 and 1996) were the most injured, researchers believed to be likely to rise in appendix cancer in the future.
The study was conducted by researchers at the Medical Center at the University of Vanderbelt in Nashville, Tennessee in the United States, and its results were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine on June 10, and the American Journal of Newsweek wrote about it.
Development cancer grows from the cells that form appendix, and the appendix is a small bag of tissue in the abdomen with an average length of 9 centimeters, and it is part of the intestine and colon that absorbs nutrients and removes waste from the body. It is quite clear what the appendic function is, but it may help the immune system. The theory has emerged that the appendix is a “safe shelter” for intestinal microbes.

The study was based on data from the National Cancer Institute for Observations, Wivels, and the final results (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results), where the researchers analyzed the rate of appendicism in people who are 20 years old and more than 1975 to 2019. In total, they examined 4858 confirmed cases.
According to Cleveland Clinic, sex and age are a risk of appendicing cancer. Women are more likely to develop it, including 50 years old and more.
Other factors include smoking, family history of cancer, and health conditions such as atrophic gastritis (where the stomach lining has chronic inflammation), and malignant anemia (a self -immune condition in which red blood cells decrease because the intestine cannot properly absorb vitamin B1 All of them increase the risk of infection.
Symptoms of appendic cancer differ from one person to another, and they may sometimes be without symptoms, and symptoms usually include appendicitis, bloating, fluid accumulation in the abdomen, increased waist size, abdominal or pelvic pain, changes in defecation habits, nausea, vomiting, and a tendency to feel full.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, the risk of cancer in general includes drinking alcohol, and human papilloma virus, which is a virus that is transmitted by sexual communication, and obesity that is linked to an increase in the risk of 13 types of cancer. The ovaries, the pancreas, the thyroid gland, and the meningor tumor.
