Annual Report: U.S. Cancer Death Rates Slow
5th Oct 2005, 23:39 GMT
The annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer has been released, and the findings are that more U.S. women are being diagnosed with cancer, but rates among men are stable, and cancer is killing fewer people. Every year the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries together compile the report on the 15 most common U.S. cancers. This year’s report indicates that death rates from all cancers dropped by 1.1 percent per year from 1993 to 2002, most likely due to earlier detection and better treatments. Key points and Q&A on the report available here. Read Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
