 Daily Beast - Overall cancer death rates have declined a massive 33 percent since 1991, according to statistics released by the American Cancer Society on Jan. 12. This drop has resulted in 3.8 million cancer deaths being prevented over that period. The ACS also found that rates of cervical cancer in women aged 20-24 plummeted by 65 percent from 2012 to 2019... However, not all of the report was rosy.
