Malignancy is the #4 leading cause of death in the US in 15-24s and 25-34s. #2, behind unintentional injury, if one excludes homocide/suicide (you may, or may not - I'll leave that to you). By 35-44 it's taken #2 in earnest, with homocide and suicide falling away behind heart disease, to take spots 4 and 5. That's as of 2010, at least.
I'm not "old folk," but I do work in medicine. I may have seen a bit more death and death-fear than you. Then again, maybe not; I don't know you.
