Cancer Survival Rate: What's the Difference?

Hi Buddies:

Some good news on the cancer front:
The annual cancer "Report to the Nation" shows, cancer death rates overall are dropping faster than ever.
Americans seem to be heeding the message that Prevention and Early Detection make a difference in reducing their cancer risks.

The most significant decline is in deaths from colorectal cancer due to screening and new treatment methods..
Among the report's other findings: new breast cancer diagnoses are dropping about 3.5 percent a year, a previously reported decline due either to women shunning postmenopausal hormone therapy or to fewer getting mammograms.
The annual report is a collaboration of the American Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and North American Association of Central Cancer
Registries.
