Gallbladder cancer is the latest form of the disease discovered to be rising in people under 50 — alongside bowel, breast and lung.

Data from charity Cancer Research UK (CRUK) show an 84 per cent rise in cases of the gastrointestinal cancer among Brits aged 24–49 since the early 90s.

While a significant increase in cases of the disease has been seen in Brits of all ages, younger adults have seen the largest rise of any age group.
