The American Cancer Society reported that while more Americans are surviving cancer, statistics reveal alarming trends affecting young and middle-aged adults, particularly women.
Notably, Black and Native Americans face cancer mortality rates two to three times higher than white Americans, despite overall survival improvements in the population.
Cancer is no longer just a disease predominantly affecting older men; recent trends indicate rising cases among women and younger adults, challenging previous assumptions.
In 2023 alone, the projection shows 2,041,910 new cancer cases in the US with 618,120 deaths, marking cancer as a leading cause of death under 85.
