Cancer deaths have been on the decline for more than three decades—and stayed on the decline, even with the pandemic raging, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society.
The U.S. cancer death rate declined 1.5% from 2019 to 2020—part of a 33% overall decline since 1991 that averted nearly 4 million deaths, according to an article published earlier this month in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, citing federal health statistics.
