Clinical Cancer Advances 2018: Annual Report on Progress Against Cancer From the American Society of Clinical Oncology
Cet article passe en revue les avancées en matière de prévention et de traitement des cancers aux Etats-Unis pour l'année 2017
Approximately 1.7 million people received a cancer diagnosis in the United States in 2017. Today, more than 15 million Americans, nearly one in 20, is a survivor of cancer, which means that they have had or are living with cancer. The number of survivors is growing steadily; experts estimate that there will be 26 million by 2040, with 73% 65 years of age or older.
At the same time, the rate of cancer death has been decreasing, and people are living longer with cancer than ever before. Approximately 64% of US patients diagnosed with cancer in 2005 have lived 10 years or more beyond diagnosis, up from 35% for those diagnosed in 1975.
