Cancer deaths continue to drop in U.S.
WEDNESDAY, March 16 (The Hill) — Though cancer remains the second-leading cause of death in the United States, cancer deaths in the U.S. are still on a steady decline.
The American Cancer Society in January projected that 609,360 deaths from cancer—or roughly 1,670 deaths per day—will occur in the U.S. in 2022, and 1.9 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed. Despite these harrowing predictions, the death rate due to cancer for men and women combined has decreased 32 percent from its peaks from 1991-2019.
