A person’s marital status may be linked to their risk of developing cancer, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Published in Cancer Research Communications, the study analyzed more than 4 million cancer cases across 12 states, covering a population of over 100 million people, between 2015 and 2022. Researchers focused on adults aged 30 and older and compared cancer rates between two groups: those who were married or had been married, including divorced and widowed, and those who had never married.
