In collaboration with the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society recently published its Cancer Treatment and Survivorship Statistics, 2019 report to draw attention to the number of cancer survivors in the United States.
According to the report, over 16.9 million cancer survivors currently live in the United States. The figure is expected to rise to 22.1 million by 2030. The growing number of survivors are partly caused by the advancements in medical treatments for people who are diagnosed with cancer, as well as the improvements in early detection technology that allows for early attention and treatment.
The report also examined the incidence of specific cancers and how they impact people based on gender. In men, prostate, colorectal, and melanoma skin cancers are the most common. However, the number of new cancer cases in men has been decreasing in recent years. Meanwhile, cancer incidence in women has remained the same and primarily revolves around uterine, breast, and colorectal cancers.
