Second, if they have made such advances in cancer treatment, then why have cancer deaths gone fron one in ten at the end of WW II to one in four at present? You are propagating the Big Lie.

People are living a lot longer, you dumb****! Because fewer people are dying of heart disease, infectious diseases (such as tuberculosis), etc... more folks are reaching the very old ages where cancer becomes more prevalent.

And *age-adjusted* cancer rates for most types of cancer have *fallen* since WWII. Age-adjusted death rates for breast, prostate and colon cancer have fallen sharply in the past ten years. (But I'm probably wasting my time here -- you don't appear smart enough to figure out what "age-adjusted" means).

That didn't take long.

"People are living a lot longer, you dumb****"

That is a big part of the big lie. People are living exactly as long as they have for the last 3500 years. People have lived into their 70s since the israelites quit wandering in the sinai desert.

Cancer deaths occur mostly in middle-aged people, not the elderly. Quit your lies.
