This one’s for you if you’re in your 20s, 30s, or 40s.

You’re juggling your career, family, and maybe even your first serious investment strategy. The last thing you expect is to hear that cancer is becoming more common—alarmingly so—among people your age.

But it is.

A recent report published in the British Journal of Oncology shows a troubling rise in cancer diagnoses for younger adults, especially breast and colorectal cancers. From 1990 to today, diagnoses in this age group have increased by more than 30%.

Let that sink in.

Here’s why this matters to you:

You may be building your life and future right now, but that future needs a healthy you in it. That starts with taking your physical health as seriously as your financial health.

So what should you do?

• Establish a relationship with a primary care physician (PCP). Don’t wait until something’s wrong. Make it a priority—just like you do with your savings goals or your insurance coverage.
• Don’t ignore symptoms. If you notice something off—like a lump or a change in your health—get it checked. Early detection saves lives.
• Be proactive about screenings. Even if you feel fine, talk with your doctor about what’s appropriate based on your age, family history, and risk factors.
