Mortality patterns mirrored incidence tendencies, with declines "accelerating for lung cancer."
As well as, declines slowed for breast most cancers and stabilized for prostate most cancers.
"In summary, progress has stagnated for breast and prostate cancers but strengthened for lung cancer, coinciding with changes in medical practice related to cancer screening and/or treatment," the society wrote. "More targeted cancer control interventions and investment in improved early detection and treatment would facilitate reductions in cancer mortality."
The report additionally highlighted that incidence from 2014 to 2018 continued a gradual improve for feminine breast most cancers and remained steady for prostate most cancers – regardless of a 4% to six% annual improve for superior illness since 2011.
