Actual Cancer Deaths Decrease for Second Year Running Marking what many cancer researchers are calling an important trend, the actual number of cancer deaths in the United States fell by more than 3,000 from 2003 to 2004, the most recent year for which mortality data are available. The steady decline in the rate of cancer deaths also continued.
The downturn from 556,902 deaths in 2003 to 553,888 in 2004 marks the biggest single-year decrease ever and the second consecutive year in which actual deaths - not just the death rate - have dipped. The new mortality numbers were released as part of an annual report released by the American Cancer Society (ACS), Cancer Statistics 2007
