Research focus and accomplishments

Sung’s recent publication in the ?reported that cancer incidence rates have increased disproportionately among younger adults, and in consecutively younger birth cohorts for multiple cancers including multiple myeloma and cancer in the colorectum, corpus uteri, gallbladder, kidney, and pancreas. This study generated both a provocative and a plausible hypothesis that this emerging trend may have been driven in part by the obesity epidemic.?
