Breast Cancer Death Rates Dropping (American Cancer Society)

Earlier detection and better treatments are helping drive down breast cancer death rates, American Cancer Society researchers report. Although the decline isn't huge -- 2.3% per year since 1990 -- it has been steady. What's more, women of all ages have seen breast cancer death rates drop, although the decline has been greatest in women under age 50.
