VANCOUVER, BC, April 30, 2024 /CNW/ -- USA News Group – An alarming rise in early-onset cancers has medical experts very concerned, as cancer cases in younger people are rising sharply. In particular, a surge in cases of breast cancer is being witnessed in Canada, the USA, and the EU, with extra concern to patients thought to be in remission contracting breast cancer a second time, according to a new study from the University of Cambridge.

Among the biotech companies currently making strides are Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), IceCure Medical Ltd (NASDAQ: ICCM), Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATOS), Arvinas, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARVN), and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) (NEO: PFE).
