Appendix can.cer symptoms to look out for as ‘tip of the iceberg’ wa.rning is issued to millennials

This can.cer type has seen a quadrupled growth

Experts have wa.rned about appendix cancer, which is seeing more and more Millennials develop the disease.

The rare type is apparently on the rise in two age groups: between 29 and 60.

According to Annals of Internal Medicine study, it typically targets those within the Gen X generation, with cases tripling.

Yet, cases seen in Millennials have quadrupled – appendix cancer.

What is appendix cancer?

The organ is usually forgotten about until you get appendicitis, but ca.ncer in the area has seen a stark rise.

The appendix, which is a small portion of your digestive system, is sat on the lower right side of your abdomen.
