PY - 2020 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Surgery, 15e AB - More than 1.75 million individuals in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with invasive cancer in 2019, with more than 6,000,000 estimated cancer deaths. Currently, 21.7% 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. This decline translates into more than 2.3 million fewer cancer deaths from 1991 to 2015, progress that has been driven by rapid declines in death rates for the four most common cancer types (lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate).
