Would I be right in saying that there is a noticeable increase in deaths from cancer among young women in particular? I ask that based on just a casual notice of cases in my constituency, where there seems to be a disproportionate number of young women in their 20s and 30s dying of what is obviously cancer. Has that been identified and is it due to later diagnosis or inability to diagnose because of the lockdowns, or what is the cause?
