Overall deaths from cancer are reducing in the United States, however cancer mortality is climbing up in women, especially younger ones, while cancer diagnoses have also shot up among young people, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society.
The report highlights the troubling trend, with middle-aged women now facing a higher cancer risk than men in the same age group, and young women nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed as their male counterparts, driven largely by breast and thyroid cancers.
