The bad news is, not everyone benefited equally. According a report [URL='https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.3322/caac.21551']published[/URL] by researchers at the American Cancer Society, there were 215.1 cancer-related deaths per 100,000 people in the US in 1991. Over the next 25 years, that rate steadily decreased by about 1.5 annually; in 2016, cancer killed 156 people per 100,000 people. That’s a decline of 27%. The research team estimates that thanks to factors like lower smoking rates, earlier cancer detection, and better treatment, over 2.6 million lives were saved in that time period. However, those positive trends haven’t been evenly distributed. [/QUOTE]
