differing trends are not due in treatment and hospitalization. it may be partly due to the fact that younger people, especially younger women, are generally considered low risk and both patients and doctors alike tend to not take heart symptoms as seriously in that population. to be done on young people and because they are often not included in research. again, that's because they are considered low risk for heart issues. the study is in the american heart association's journal circulation this week. >> frightening. >> it is. they are not at huge risk, but they haven't benefited as much as the older population has in the decrease. so we have to figure that out. >> thank you. the number of second cancer cases are on the rise. according to the american cancer society, about 19% of cancers in the u.s. are now second cases, meaning the patient fought the disease before. the 1970s. although doctors say this news
