Cancer Statistics in the US

A new report reveals that colorectal cancer accounts for only 8% of total cancer cases in the US, with breast cancer and prostate cancer being more common. Cancer rates vary by gender, with men more likely to be diagnosed and die from the disease. Lifestyle factors like poor diets and obesity are potential causes of cancer. Princess Kate Middleton was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Cancer rates also vary by ethnicity, with non-Hispanic Black Americans having the highest risk of cancer death. Overall cancer rates have decreased, but certain types related to excess body weight are on the rise.
