Overall Cancer Death Rate Continues to Fall

A new report suggests that the death rate from cancer has fallen yet again in the United States.

The three biggest cancer killers of men showed declines as lung, prostate, and colon cancer all claimed fewer lives.

Experts are attributing the overall decline to several factors including better screening tools, improved treatments, and better lifestyle choices (most prominently fewer people smoking).

Cancer death rates have been decreasing steadily for over 10 years in the United States.
