Good morning. Welcome to Axios today. It's Thursday, August 17th. I'm Nyla Boudou.

Here's what we're following today. White cancer rates for young Americans seem to be rising.

Plus, the co-working industry is on the upswing. But first, Hawaii braces for a crushing death toll.

That's today's one big thing.

At least 106 people are confirmed dead, and an estimated 1,300 are still missing, a week after Hawaii's deadly wildfires, which almost completely raised the town of Lahina on Maui.

Governor Josh Green has said there will be no survivors left, and officials are today continuing the slow grim work of recovering and identifying human remains.

As of this morning, we've now searched about 35% of the territory. Our hearts are broken. Our hearts are broken as we see lost loved ones.

We're also bringing in a lot of extra support that can help us to figure out who did pass.

That's Governor Green speaking yesterday. People involved in recovery efforts, including 9-11, and after the devastating 2018 campfire in California, are on the ground, aiding in the search.

Maui Police Chief John Pelletier described the work of these teams.

So I want people to understand the reverence of what we're doing this. It's not just ash on your clothing when you take it off.

It's our loved ones. That's the reverence.

Many residents are also voicing anger and concern over alleged mismanagement of the evacuation, contaminants and drinking water, and potential scammers looking to grab land on Maui.

And three lawsuits have been filed against Hawaii Electric over the role their power lines played in the fires. We'll have more on this in the coming days.

A new study says cancer in younger Americans is on the rise, especially women. The study published yesterday in JAMA Network Open.

Says gastrointestinal, endocrine and breast cancers are rising fastest, and the ages most affected are 30 to 39.

Dr. Richard Bold, physician and chief at the UC Davis Health Comprehensive Cancer Center, is here to explain what we need to know. Welcome to access today, Dr. Bold.

Thank you very much.

I want to summarize to your mind what the most important things are from the study, the main findings.

The main findings are basically that although historically we've associated cancer with the elderly population, mostly in people 65 and older, we're seeing actually that the incidence of cancer is rising fastest in the younger population, and we're actually seeing declines in our older population.

I think that declines are because of effective screening, but we really don't understand why we're seeing an absolute increase in younger people diagnosed with cancer, and particularly in the age group of 30 to 39.

An age group that we don't typically see a lot of cancer, but the rise is the fastest in that group compared to all of our other groups.
