The good news is fewer people with Cancer are dying from cancer. The bad news is just as many people are getting cancer but, thanks to more screening and earlier treatments, they are living longer. No doubt the earlier we discover cancer the better. Much more treatable.
Some lifestyle changes are also helping. For instance:
1) People are smoking less. (ex: high schoolers that smoke has dropped almost 10 %)
2) People are consuming less alcohol
3) People are more ' fat ' conscious and eating less FAT
4) People are more concerned about the sun and its cancer-causing effect.
