Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Surgery, 14e AB - Over 1.6 million individuals in the United States are diagnosed with invasive cancer each year. Currently, 23% of all deaths in the United States are due to cancer, ranking second only to heart disease as the leading cause of mortality in this country. Over the past 10 years, however, cancer death rates have decreased. Death rates have continued to decline for the four top cancer sites (lung, colorectum, breast, and prostate). This reduction in overall cancer death rates translates to the avoidance of over 1 million deaths from cancer.
