Pullen Hermiston October 25, 1940 — January 3, 2019 Irrigon Nov. 19, 1942 — Jan. 7, 2019 U.S. cancer death rate in decline for 25 years By MIKE STOBBE Associated Press NEW YORK — The U.S. cancer death rate has hit a milestone: It’s been falling for at least 25 years, according to a new report. Lower smoking rates are translating into fewer deaths. Advances in early detection and treatment also are having a positive impact, experts say. But it’s not all good news. Obesity-related can- cer deaths are rising, and prostate cancer deaths are no longer dropping, said Rebecca Siegel, lead author of the American Cancer Society report pub- lished Tuesday. Cancer also remains the nation’s No. 2 killer. The society predicts there will be more than 1.7 mil- lion new cancer cases, and more than 600,000 cancer deaths, in the U.S. this year. There’s been a lot of bad news regarding U.S. death rates. In 2017, increases were seen in fatalities from seven of the 10 leading causes of death, according to recently released gov- ernment data. But cancer has been something of a bright spot. The nation’s cancer death rate was increasing until the early 1990s. It has been dropping since, fall- ing 27 percent between 1991 and 2016, the Cancer Society reported. Lung cancer is the main reason. Among cancers, it has long killed the most people, especially men. But the lung cancer death rate dropped by nearly 50 percent among men since 1991. It was a delayed effect from a decline in smoking that began in the 1960s, Siegel said. The report has mixed news about prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in men. The prostate cancer death rate fell by half over two decades, but experts have been wondering whether the trend changed after a 2011 decision by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to stop recom- mending routine testing of men using the PSA blood test. That decision was prompted by concerns the test was leading to overdi- agnosis and overtreatment. The prostate cancer death rate flattened from 2013 to 2016. So while the PSA testing may have sur- faced cases that didn’t need treatment, it may also have prevented some cancer deaths, the report suggests. Of the most common types of cancer in the U.S., all the ones with increasing death rates are linked to obesity, including cancers of the pancreas, liver and uterus. Liver cancer deaths have been increasing since the 1970s, and obesity accounts for a third of liver cancer deaths, and is more of a factor than hepatitis, Siegel said. The nation’s grow- ing obesity epidemic was first identified as a prob- lem in the 1990s. It can take decades to see how a risk factor influences can- cer rates, “so we may just be seeing the tip of the ice- berg in terms of the effect of the obesity epidemic on cancer,” Siegel said.
