The number of new cancer cases in the U.S. is expected to top 2 million for the first time in 2024, based on new research that also points to shifting age patterns among cancer patients and a troubling increase in overall cancer incidence among people younger than 50 .
READ: A Racial Divide in Breast Cancer Deaths
The American Cancer Society’s latest statistical report, released on Wednesday, says the country’s cancer mortality rate fell by 33% from 1991 through 2021. That decrease equates to an estimated 4.1 million fewer cancer deaths, which researchers attribute to improvements in disease management and detection, along with reductions in smoking.
Yet the research also warns that increases in some common cancers threaten this progress. The report notes the incidence rate for female breast cancer, for example, has risen by about 0.6% per year since the mid-2000s, and that more than 313,000 new breast cancer cases overall are projected for 2024. Prostate cancer incidence increased by about 3% per year after experiencing a nearly 40% drop from 2007 to 2014.
When Astrobotic Technology’s Peregrine lander took off Jan. 8 on a doomed mission to the moon, it was not a passenger-free flight. The remains and DNA of more than 70 deceased people, including science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, were on board the spacecraft, which is expected to burn up Thursday during reentry to the Earth’s atmosphere after a failure in its propulsion system.
One word: Icarus
There is a high correlation between loss of pregnancy through either abortion and/or miscarriage and incidents of breast cancer.
I know this because ~15 years ago my wife and I lost a boy late term. ~2 years later she was diagnosed. All good now, but it made me research things.
