City of Hope launched a mobile clinic that will assess the risk and screen for at least 15 different types of cancer.
Brandon Arbini, 44, at FLDWRK, a flexible workspace he owns, in Costa Mesa, CA, on Monday, March 11, 2024. Arbini, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer when he was 41. He is now in remission. Yes, it’s still true that older people are more likely than younger people to be diagnosed with cancer. Cells change more frequently, and in different ways, when you’re older. And decades of lifestyle choices and exposures can — and often do — result in some form of cancer.
The good news is the youth cancer diagnosis rate in Orange County — and most of the rest of California — is well below the national average of 105.2 per 100,000. When Arbini told his doctor his symptoms prior to being screened, he said his doctor wasn’t particularly alarmed. Still, to play it safe, the doctor recommended that Arbini get a colonoscopy — something that, at the time, typically didn’t happen doesn’t happen until a person turns 50.
Kim suspects that there may be cancer-causing genetic variants, locally, that have not yet been identified, but he said it’s why clinical trials and research in a healthier population is needed. “People typically characterize cancer as a disease associated with aging. But cancer has a younger face.”
