“The Centers for Disease Control issued a report in June that crunched a range of U.S. cancer statistics collected during the first two decades of this century. The data track how roughly two dozen types of cancer played out in hundreds of locales, and they measure disease outcomes for all Americans based on gender, age and race.

It’s a complex study, but the bottom line is simple:

Cancer isn’t as lethal as it used to be.

In fact, the report’s key finding is that the U.S. cancer death rate was about a third (29.2%) lower in 2022 than it was in 1999.”
