Cancer deaths in US men declined for the first time in 70 years, driven by decreases in lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers. However, lung cancer deaths continue to rise among women.

Area of Science:

Epidemiology
Cancer Surveillance Research

Background:

Annual compilation of US cancer incidence, mortality, and survival data for the year 2000.
Historical 70-year trend of increasing cancer deaths in men.

Purpose of the Study:

To report the latest US cancer statistics for the year 2000.
To analyze trends in cancer mortality among men and women.
To summarize global cancer mortality rates.

Main Methods:

Analysis of cancer incidence, mortality, and survival data for the United States.
Review of data from the American Cancer Society's Surveillance Research Program.
Inclusion of global cancer mortality data from the World Health Organization.

Main Results:

Total cancer deaths among US men declined from 1996 to 1997, the first decrease in 70 years.
Decreases in male mortality attributed to lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers.
Despite declines in breast and colorectal cancer deaths for women, lung cancer mortality continues to increase, projected to cause 25% of female cancer deaths in 2000.

Conclusions:

The decline in male cancer mortality represents a significant public health achievement.
Continued rise in female lung cancer mortality highlights a critical area for intervention.
The report provides essential data for cancer control and prevention strategies globally.
