The decline in deaths from lung cancer drove the record drop. Deaths fell from about 3% per year from 2008 - 2013 to 5% from 2013 - 2017 in men and from 2% to almost 4% in women. However, lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death. (snip) American Cancer Society https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3806630/posts#comment Wed, 8 Jan 2020 21:59:16 GMT
