Abstract
The yearly cancer statistics article represents a snapshot of the evolving trends in cancer events, providing a reference point for evaluating the successes and failures of cancer control in the United States. Dr. Cunningham, President of the American Cancer Society and a Surgical Oncologist at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, Illinois, provides an overview of important observations from this year's data, including the observation that for the first time overall cancer mortality is following a downward trend in the United States.Keywords
