Cancer mortality declined in the US starting in the 1950s, but increased in older adults due to lung cancer. Further cancer control requires prevention research.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Cancer control efforts have historically relied on composite statistics.
  • Trends in cancer mortality require nuanced analysis beyond single metrics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review progress and objectives in cancer control.
  • To analyze US cancer mortality trends using cohort analysis.
  • To assess the feasibility of reducing cancer mortality.

Main Methods:

  • Cohort analysis of cancer mortality trends in the United States.
  • Review of National Cancer Institute's Year 2000 objectives for cancer control.

Main Results:

  • Cancer mortality declined in younger age groups starting in the 1950s, moving progressively up the age scale.

  • Increased cancer mortality in individuals aged 55 and older is primarily attributed to epidemic lung cancer.
  • Lung cancer's cause and control strategies are understood.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cancer control progress is evident, but challenges remain, particularly with lung cancer.
    • Achieving a 25% to 50% reduction in cancer mortality is potentially feasible.
    • Increased investment in cancer prevention research is crucial for future control efforts.
