ABSTRACT Aim The incidence of certain cancers in those under 50 years old (early‐onset cancers) has been rising many countries. This increase is generally unexplained and significant implications for health policies treatment. We wish to understand if this trend occurring Aotearoa New Zealand whether it across the spectrum adenocarcinomas or site (cancer location)‐specific. Differences patterns between sites would suggest different possible etiologies any hence differences how might be managed. Method change esophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, breast, lung, uterine, ovarian, prostate from 2000 2020 was analyzed. Data extracted Cancer Registry. All new cases relevant were analyzed calculate crude incidence, rate ratios (IRRs), age‐standardized incidence. Trends estimated by age ethnicity, focusing on early‐onset adenocarcinomas. Results There evidence increases colorectal (IRR 1.23, p < 0.01), breast 1.08, uterine 1.73, 1.14, 0.05). In Māori, there 1.42, 1.98, lung Conclusion From 2020, multiple site‐specific, namely prostate. Ongoing research needed investigate causes develop strategies address site‐specific adenocarcinoma
