Cancer Trends Report Reveals Shifting Burdens and Declining Mortality Rates
The American Cancer Society's latest report indicates a rise in cancer diagnoses among women and younger adults, while overall mortality rates continue to decline.
Overview
The American Cancer Society's annual report shows that while overall cancer mortality rates in the U.S. have dropped by 34% since 1991, diagnoses among women aged 50-64 and younger adults have increased significantly. Women under 50 are now 82% more likely to be diagnosed than their male counterparts. Despite increases in diagnoses, mortality rates have decreased due to improved treatments and earlier detection. However, rising death rates for specific cancers, racial disparities in outcomes, and lifestyle factors present ongoing challenges in the fight against cancer.
