Cancer diagnoses are shifting from older to younger adults and from men to women, according to a report released Thursday by the American Cancer Society.

Charmella Roark remembers the shock that stopped her in her tracks when she learned about her younger sister’s cancer diagnosis.

The Roark sisters represent an ongoing trend emerging in the United States: More younger women are being diagnosed with cancer.
