Cancer is rising in younger adults. Faster biological aging may help explain why

Cancer rates are rising in adults under 55, and new research suggests accelerated biological aging may be one piece of the puzzle.

Greater biological age acceleration was linked to a higher risk of early onset cancers, wit
