A member asked:

What are the odds of cancer in a 19 year old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

100% if it's you: Hodgkin's, osteosarcoma, ewing's, and testicular cancer (men) peak around this age, and the common adult cancers start making their appearance. It's not so common as in older folks, but if you have some reason to be concerned, get seen. It's the smart thing to do.
