Cancer deaths continue to decline, dropping 33% since 1991 and saving an estimated 3.8 million lives, according to the American Cancer Society’s annual statistics report.
THURSDAY, Jan. 12, 2023 --
Chief executive officer Karen Knudsen added that “this is some of the first real-world evidence that HPV vaccination is likely to be effective in reducing cancer incidence and [death rates].” Black men, in particular, are being affected by the rise in prostate cancer, according to the report. The concern is that the screening tool — the blood-based PSA test — can be influenced by factors other than prostate cancer, Knudsen said. For example, inflammation of the prostate can cause a rise in PSA.
It's aimed at reversing the disparities in prostate cancer for Black men and reducing death rates overall by 2035, Knudsen said.
