A report shows a drastic fall in the number of cancer deaths among teens and young adults in UK.

Researchers report that though there is a remarkable decrease in cancer deaths, the incidence of cancer is on rise.
It was also noted that less than 20% of cancer patients in this age group are enrolled into clinical trials. This is due to strict enrollment norms, which restrict young patients. Researchers are often hesitant in giving the adult dosage to teens and young adults due to potential risks.
The authors opine that many clinical trials need to be developed to cover this age group so that teens and young adults can also benefit from new treatment options.
