We see more deaths to cancer because a lot of smokers or former smokers are reaching the late age.
Additional issues are general causes of death slowly shifting from cardiovascular to cancer.
One rise in preventable cancers is because some people do not take HPV vaccine anymore. That is mostly breast cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is potentially linked to diet, not exactly to adulterants, but the change is not big.
Testicular cancer and ovarian cancer rates are the probe for PFxx exposure. Again, not a big change... When the vaccination rates are accounted for.
Thyroid cancer too, but it's a rare one so noisy data. Breast cancer has the confounder of HPV so you get to look at a subset...
Liver cancer is too non-specific and rates are as usual.
PFxx cancer risk exists, but is very likely tiny lifetime, compared to diet, smoking or lack of exercise. Perhaps even stress but that's hard to track.
We're talking RR of edge like 1.05-1.1... unless it's industrial workers and kidney cancer. At most. And results are inconsistent.
Removing these is mostly based on precautionary principle at this point, and the fact it will take forever to fet rid of them.
And that they're developmental toxins. As in mess with children.
