Housecall for Health: Cancer Rates Decline

Cancer death rates in the United States are continuing to fall, according to a new report.

FOX News Radio’s Colleen Cappon report’s in today’s “Housecall for Health”:

The American Cancer Society says cancer rates in the U.S. are on the decline… Down almost 2% per year in men and 1.6% in women since 2004.

The biggest drops were in the four most common cancers: lung, colon, breast and prostate.

The cancer group says that advances in cancer screening and treatment have prevented more than a million total deaths from cancer since the early 1990’s. But some cancers are on the rise.
