News Review From Harvard Medical School - |
More than 13 million Americans are cancer survivors, a new report says. That number is expected to jump to 18 million in 10 years. The American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute issued the report. It shows that more people are surviving cancer for several reasons. The number of people diagnosed is rising. So is the size of the older population – including cancer survivors. About 45% of U.S. cancer survivors are 70 or older, the report says. People are also living longer with some of the most common cancers. About 43% of male survivors had prostate cancer. Among female survivors, 41% had breast cancer. More than 58,000 Americans are survivors of childhood cancer. About 64% of survivors learned they had cancer at least 5 years ago. About 15% were diagnosed at least 20 years ago. CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians published the report. HealthDay News wrote about it June 14. |
