Cancer mortality rates have been dropping for nearly two decades, aided by 'major progress' in the early detection and treatment options for lung cancer, the American Cancer Society says
Cancer mortality rates have been dropping for nearly two decades, aided by"major progress" in the early detection and treatment options for lung cancer, according to the American Cancer Society's annual report on cancer statistics, published Wednesday.
The overall cancer death rate dropped by about a third from its peak in 1991 to 2019, from about 215 deaths for every 100,000 people to about 146, averting about 3.5 million deaths during that time, according to the data. Most of that decline can be attributed to a drop in mortality among lung cancer patients. The American Cancer Society projects that there will be about 1.
Not all long-term effects are positive. Racial and sociodemographic disparities in cancer incidence and mortality also persist due to long-lasting effects of systematic racism in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society report. Black patients have a lower five-year survival rate than White patients for most cancer types, and Black women have a higher cancer mortality rate than any other group, according to American Cancer Society data.
