US Cancer-Caused Deaths Drop by 25% Since 1991
- comments
In yet another milestone achieved by the United States, the news has broken out the storm of happiness and national pride, with the US confirming 25 % slump in death rates caused primarily by Cancer.
Fox News report sheds further light on the news and labels improvement in cancer screening, the widespread campaigns against cigarette smoking which eventually lead to the significant decline in a number of smokers as the valid developments which resulted in the sharp drop of 25 % in cancer caused deaths in the US.
There is sharp inconsistency, the data shows, in male and female annual decline rate but overall cancer inflicted death percentage has maintained a consistent decline of 1.5 % each passing year since 1991, same report claims.
The medical fraternity asserted on the celebration of the vast potential inherent in the health department of the US which is hell-bent on further bringing down the cancer death rate in the US in coming years.
Another report published in Yahoo News reveals time encompassing 1991 and 2014 had 2.1 million fewer cancer deaths, which is the remarkable achievement actually. The report is evident to the fact that we have enough potential to bring down the annual death rate caused due to the deadly disease of cancer.
The need is emphasized on advancing the research on cancer, creating more innovative techniques for early treatment and detection, and to create awareness about the healthy living throughout the nation.
The defective tests conceivably responsible for worsening the case of cancer patients are not prescribed now. The decrease in death rate particularly ones caused due to prostate cancer is assigned to not prescribing PSA to cancer patients.
In a similar manner, Lung cancer death rate declined due to decline in smoking rate. The facts and figures presented in the reports suggest that we can curb the cancer death rate provided we innovate new technology for early detection, suggest healthy living to the people and stop recommending fatal tests which instead of doing any good further worse the case of patients.
