Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

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.
